3.6. Fedora Live Images

This beat is located here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Beats/Live

The Games Spin provides a Live DVD with a sampling of the best games available in Fedora.
For electronic designers, the Fedora Electronic Lab spin provides a complete toolchain for IC designers.
The Fedora Spins SIG (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/Spins) is continuously developing specialized Live images for specific purposes.

3.6.1. From Live CDs to Live USBs

In previous Fedora releases, the Desktop Live image has been CD-sized. The 700-MB limit of a CD has increasingly limited the experience available to users, so the Fedora Desktop team is producing a 1-GB Live USB key instead as of this release. The Fedora 13 Desktop Live image will not fit onto a CD. As a result, Openoffice.org is available by default instead of Abiword, and the GIMP image editor is also available by default in this Live image.
Detailed documentation on making a Live USB is available at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_create_and_use_Live_USB.. You can also burn this image to a DVD. If your computer does not support booting from USB, or has no DVD drive, you can do any of the following:
  • a network installation
  • use the regular installation CD set instead
  • use a Live image from http://spins.fedoraproject.org for an alternative desktop environment that is still CD-sized
