Description

This test validates that ISO images (CD, Live, and DVD) are small enough to fit on the corresponding media.


How to test

  1. Inspect the size of CD and netinst install media. The ls -l command can be used to display the size of the image.
  2. Repeat the same inspection, but for the Live media.
  3. Finally, inspect the size of the DVD media.

Expected Results

  1. The installer CD and netinst images are of a size greater than 2 MiB, and less than or equal to 700 MiB = 734,003,200 bytes (IEC units).
  2. The installer Live images are of a size greater than 2 MiB, and less than or equal to 1 GB = 1,000,000,000 bytes (SI units)[1].
  3. The installer DVD images are of a size greater than 2 MiB, and less than or equal to 4.7 GB = 4,700,000,000 bytes (SI units).
  1. ↑ As of Fedora 13, live media is intended for USB media keys and not for CD images. For more details on this change, see Features/DesktopLiveImageTarget.
