+ To write the ISO image to a CD or DVD, you can use your preferred software for
writing to optical discs. Ensure that you choose the option to write the ISO image to the
disc, rather than create a data disc - refer to your software's manual for
instructions.

+ To write the ISO image to a USB flash drive in Linux or Windows, you can use the
<application>LiveUSB Creator</application> application, which is available
from <ulink type="http"

In Mac OSX, the terminal program <application>dd</application> can be used -
refer to Chapter 3.2.2 "Making Fedora USB Media in UNIX, Linux, and Similar Operating
Systems" in the <citetitle>Fedora &PRODVER; Installation

ISO image. The default ISO image on <ulink type="http"
url="http://get.fedoraproject.org/">http://get.fedoraproject...
is 32-bit. The 64-bit ISO image can be found by clicking on <guibutton>More download
options...</guibutton>, which is just below the blue <guibutton>Download
