Making CD and DVD Media. To learn how to turn ISO images into CD or DVD media, refer to https://docs.fedoraproject.org/readme-burning-isos/.

Making Minimal USB Boot Media. The minimal USB disk image, diskboot.img, requires a blank USB flash drive. Writing the minimal USB boot image to a USB flash drive will destroy all the data on the drive.

On a Linux system, as root, use the following command to write the image to the drive:

dd if=diskboot.img of=/dev/sd
X

	Write to the Correct Device
	Make sure you are writing to the proper disk. Consult the /var/log/messages log or use the dmesg command. If your system supports dynamic device creation, run the command ls -l /dev/disk/by-id/ to locate the device.

A comparable dd program for Windows systems is available at https://users.erols.com/gmgarner/forensics/. The website gives examples of how to use this Windows program to copy an image to a physical disk device.
