Neither of them are anything I've heard of. Certainly, you can't just copy the ISO file to the stick as a file. Fedora Media Writer was a tool for doing that kind of thing, too (for *properly* creating a bootable drive). But using "dd" to write the file directly as-it-is to the flashdrive always used to work. It's a simple direct dump command line tool, and various front ends had been written to use it outside of the command line. A problem in recent times isn't so much to do with using dd (or something else) to do the job, but more to do with the boot structure in the ISO file. *It* just won't boot on certain motherboards. But one of the other ISOs (with a different booting method) does work. I struck this, myself. The Mate spin wouldn't, but the server spin did. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.119.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jun 4 14:43:51 UTC 2024 x86_64 (yes, this is the output from uname for this PC when I posted) Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
