Fedora also considers it an install. From https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora/latest/system-upgrade/ Automatic upgrade using dnf system upgrade The preferred way to upgrade your system is an automatic upgrade using the dnf system upgrade utility. For information on performing an automatic upgrade, see link: Upgrading Fedora using the DNF system upgrade. Manual Reinstallation Instead of relying on dnf system upgrade, you can reinstall the latest version of Fedora. This involves booting the installer as if you were performing a clean installation, letting it detect your existing Fedora system, and overwriting the root partition while preserving data on other partitions and volumes. The same process can also be used to reinstall the system, if you need to do so for any reason. For detailed information, see Manual System Upgrade or Reinstallation. poc ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue

LiveUSB doesn't boot
Recently, I had trouble creating a LiveUSB and asked for help here. I was given instructions on how to create it using dd, and followed them after correcting a slight error in the instructions. Now, I've finally got my laptop back, and tried to use the flash drive. All that happens is a grub> prompt. I don't know what went wrong, or how to correct it. This is the command that I used: dd if=f38.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=1M And the correction was using M instead of m. ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
