Description

All ISO images (i.e. netinst.iso, DVD.iso, Live-Desktop.iso and Live-KDE.iso) must be small enough to fit on the corresponding media.


How to test

  1. If you have the image downloaded locally, view the size of the file in bytes like this:
    $ du -b Fedora-14-Alpha-x86_64-netinst.iso
    230686720	Fedora-14-Alpha-x86_64-netinst.iso
  2. If you don't have the image downloaded locally, query the size using HTTP headers like this:
    $ curl -sI http://server/image.iso | grep Content-Length
    Content-Length: 230686720
  3. Check all ISO files available for this specific compose.

Expected Results

  1. The size of netinst images is less than or equal to 734,003,200 bytes [1]
  2. The size of DVD images is less than or equal to 4,700,000,000 bytes [2]
  3. The size of Live images is less than or equal to 1,000,000,000 bytes [3][4]
  4. The size of Multi-Desktop DVD images is less than or equal to 8,500,000,000 bytes [5] and is intended for DVD-9 Single-Side (SS) Dual-layer (DL) media
  5. The size of Multi-Install DVD installation images is less than or equal to 8,500,000,000 bytes [5] and is intended for DVD-9 Single-Side (SS) Dual-layer (DL) media
