I downloaded

So you should have a good download.
dd'ed the file to /dev/sdf .
At the time, that was a USB adapter for an SD card.
Follow the directions to check the checksum against /dev/sdf (or
whichever device the SD card shows up as). Or you could do "diff -sq
--binary Fedora-Workstation-Live-42-1.1.x86_64.iso /dev/sdf" and let
it tell you if the files are the same.
cp'ed /dev/sdf to f1.iso .
cp copied more than was dd'ed, so I interupted it.
cmp told me Fedora-Workstation-Live-42-1.1.x86_64.iso
was an initial string of f1.iso .
I do not understand what you are trying to do here.
I copied /dev/sdf so that I could compare it with F...42...iso .
I literally got more than I bargained for.
The first part of what I got was the same as F...42...iso .
With your diff, I got that they differ.
sudo cmp ...
tells me
Fedora-Workstation-Live-42-1.1.x86_64.iso /dev/sdf differ: byte 32769, line 2
which implies one is not the beginning of the other,
despite what I got earlier.
When I tried to boot from the SD card, I got
[various boot failures]
Check BIOS/UEFI settings:
o is it set to allow booting off of SD cards? The default setting on
my laptops forbids booting off of SD cards.
I'm pretty sure it is.
Among other things, I have an old version of Fedora installed to an SD card.
o are you in UEFI mode or "legacy" mode? I think F42 requires UEFI,
though I could be wrong.
Don't know.
Is there a way to check, very preferably without rebooting?
I am sooo tired of rebooting.
Would that be a change from F40?
That is what I have now.
Then do the checks against the SD card I mentioned above.
