I'm not sure we are talking about the same thing, maybe I
misunderstood?
I was referring to the actual interface of the liveusb-creator. It
features jargon such as "destructive (cp)"/"non-destructive (dd)"
and
"persistence." I don't think that's going to work well for users on
their first experience procuring and installing Fedora.
Martin's message sounds like persistence is going away because it's buggy.
dd would be destructive, cp would be non-destructive.
dd is quite reliable since it keeps the ISO layout and bootloader
completey intact; whereas with cp the bootloaders will need to be
modified, which I still think is fraught with peril. I think the tool
should just use dd on the backend and inform the user very strongly
*ALL* data on the stick will be destroyed.
If the tool is using livecd-iso-to-disk on the backend, that seems to
be pretty reliable on x86_64 for both BIOS and UEFI firmware types.
But my understanding is livecd-tools is going away in favor of
livemedia-creator. So...
