While preparing to upgrade to Fedora-37 (planned for mid-April), I noticed that
my emergency tools are seriously out of date. Those are memtest, Fedora live,
and rescue. memtest was dealt with in a thread earlier this month. Now I'm
trying to update my Fedora live USB stick to Fedora-36. I used Fedora Media
Writer to do that. I saw no hint of trouble while using that. But when I try
to boot up from the stick (USB-3, if that matters), I get varying bad results.
Two tries failed to complete the boot. One try appeared to succeed, but I
couldn't launch any applications. The applications I tried were Firefox, a
terminal, and I don't recall the other. The last application launch attempt
locked up the workstation.
This workstation is 10 years old. It uses bios. I've attached a PNG screen
capture of what Files says is on the stick at the top level. I do not have a
cell phone or camera to capture the boot screen when the boot fails.
Main question:
How do I make a Fedora-36 USB live stick that really works?
Secondary question:
I can't find a tool on my workstation to check the stick. Disks,
GSmartControl, and Disk Usage Analyzer don't do that, How can I check the
stick itself? I actually tried 2 sticks for the Fedora Media Writer. They
both failed when trying to boot.
