It's quite possible I'm mistaken, but I think the situation covered is subtly different. The test case dls-003 tests whether a USB device (or another partition) can be used as persistent storage for the livecd environment; that is, booting off of the LiveCD and storing any changed data to the persistent partition. My understanding of the USB creator tool is that it copies over the entire live environment to the USB device and makes that bootable and persistent. While that's arguably more useful in that only the USB device is needed to subsequently boot and run, I think it's still worth testing to make sure persistence still works with the LiveCD. There are still systems out there that refuse to boot off of USB devices. Also note that USB creator has it's own set of testcases at http://testcases.qa.ubuntu.com/Applications/StartupDiskCreator that cover the use cases for it pretty well. These have recently been added as standard testcases to be covered during our milestone ISO testing under "Generic Tests". You can see the results from the alpha 3 testing at http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/test/3661 ; alas, they did not get very good coverage. -- Steve Beattie <sbeat...@ubuntu.com> http://NxNW.org/~steve/
