Bug ID: 1409148
Summary: Are we using liveusb-creator or Fedora Media Writer?
Product: Fedora Documentation
Version: devel
Component: install-guide
Assignee: cspicer(a)redhat.com
Reporter: puiterwijk(a)redhat.com

In Fedora 25 Install guide
(
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/25/html/Installation_Guide/se...):
On Fedora 24 or later, you can download Fedora Image Writer with the command:
$ sudo dnf install liveusb-creator
You can call Fedora Media Writer by issuing the command:
$ sudo liveusb-creator
While Media Writer provides liveusb-creator, we might want to provide "dnf
install mediawriter".
However, that is just a small annoyance, the big painpoint is with "sudo
liveusb-creator", which is NOT a binary provided by mediawriter.
Which means one has to manually figure out they are supposed to run "sudo
mediawriter".
Also, do we really want to suggest this method of starting and running?
First off, I think GNOME software might have it listed, so mentioning that as
the primary method might be more user-friendly?
Second, please do not teach people to just randomly slap "sudo" in front of
commands. As far as I know, mediawriter can be started as normal user perfectly
fine, and it'll ask for permissions as soon as they are needed.
