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 install media. The ls -sh 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 images are of a size greater than 2 MiB, and less than or equal to 700 MiB = 734,003,200 bytes (IEC units). An example using the ls command (which displays file sizes in IEC units by default):
    # ls -sh Fedora-13-Beta-x86_64-disc*.iso
    692M Fedora-13-Beta-x86_64-disc1.iso 694M Fedora-13-Beta-x86_64-disc4.iso
    694M Fedora-13-Beta-x86_64-disc2.iso 693M Fedora-13-Beta-x86_64-disc5.iso
    681M Fedora-13-Beta-x86_64-disc3.iso 150M Fedora-13-Beta-x86_64-disc6.iso
  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]. An example using the ls command (with the --si option to display sizes in SI units):
    # ls -sh --si F13-Beta-x86_64-Live.iso
    987M F13-Beta-x86_64-Live.iso
  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). An example using the ls command (with the --si option to display sizes in SI units):
    # ls -sh --si Fedora-13-Beta-x86_64-DVD.iso
    3.8G Fedora-13-Beta-x86_64-DVD.iso
  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.
