Description

This test validates that ISO images (CD, netinst, 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 du -b command can be used to display the sizes of the images in bytes: 
    $ du -b Fedora-14-Alpha-x86_64-netinst.iso
230686720	Fedora-14-Alpha-x86_64-netinst.iso
  2. Repeat the same inspection, but for the Live media.
  3. Finally, inspect the size of the DVD media.

Check size over HTTP
If you need to check ISO size without downloading the file, you can do that also remotely: 
$ curl -sI http://server/image.iso | grep Content-Length

Expected Results

  1. The size of CD and netinst images is less than or equal to 734003200 bytes (700 MiB = 700 * 2^20 bytes).
  2. The size of Live images is less than or equal to 1000000000 bytes (1 GB = 1000^3 bytes) [1].
  3. The size of DVD images is less than or equal to 4700000000 bytes (4.7 GB = 4.7 * 1000^3 bytes).



  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.
