== How to test? ==
=== Update your machine ===


Graphical Method - Windows only. For flashing from Fedora please use the terminal for now.
* You need to have the livecd-tools version 16.11 at least.


Fedora LiveUSB sticks can be created in Windows and Linux using the [http://fedorahosted.org/liveusb-creator liveusb-creator].
== How to test? ==
 
For Windows using the following steps:
* Download liveusb-creator from http://fedorahosted.org/liveusb-creator
* Double click 'liveusb-creator'
 
 
If you are using Fedora use the command line:
 
<pre>
$ su -c "yum install liveusb-creator"
</pre>
 
Flash the DVD ISO image to the live USB stick by running the following command in a terminal:
<code>livecd-iso-to-disk --format --reset-mbr <path to iso> /dev/sdb #(the attachment point of the *device*)
 
To start the flash process, run <code>liveusb-creator</code> in a terminal.
 
After install run the this command:
<code>$ livecd-iso-to-disk --format --reset-mbr <path to iso> /dev/sdb #(the attachment point of the *device*)</code>
 
=== '''Update your machine''' ===


If you're running Fedora 17, make sure you have all the current updates for it installed, using the update manager or yum.
* Please use the process detailed on the [[How_to_create_and_use_Live_USB|How_to_create_and_use_Live_USB]] wiki page.
* You can also use qemu/qemu-kvm to test your live media


<pre>qemu -hda /dev/sdX  # add "-m 1G", if more RAM is needed for more than just a quick test boot</pre>


== Test Results ==
== Test Results ==


Construct a table or list to allow testers to post results.  Each column should be a test case or configuration, and each row should consist of test results. Include some instructions on how to report bugs, and any special instructions. Here's an example, from a Palimpsest test day:
If you have problems with any of the tests,please report a bug to [https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi?product=Fedora&version=rawhide&component=livecd-tools Bugzilla for livecd-tools] or [https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi?product=Fedora&version=rawhide&component=liveusb-creator Bugzilla for liveusb-creator] . If you are unsure about exactly how to file the report or what other information to include, just ask on IRC and we will help you. Once you have completed the tests, add your results to the Results table below, following the example results from the first line as a template. The first column should be your name with a link to your User page in the Wiki if you have one, and the second should be a link to the Smolt profile of the system you tested. For each test case, use the [[Template:result|result template]] to enter your result, as shown in the example result line.

Can't make the date?
If you come to this page before or after the test day is completed, your testing is still valuable, and you can use the information on this page to test, file any bugs you find at Bugzilla, and add your results to the results section. If this page is more than a month old when you arrive here, please check the current schedule and see if a similar but more recent Test Day is planned or has already happened.

What to test?[edit]

Today's installment of Fedora Test Day will focus on livecd-tools and creating a Fedora USB installation stick via the command-line with livecd-tools' livecd-iso-to-disk on Fedora 16, 17, and with liveusb-creator on Fedora and Windows.
