Thank you!
I think I am doing something wrong. Sums do not match.
# sha256sum Fedora-Live-Xfce-x86_64-23-10.iso /dev/sdc
a24e48a604c81f8e3c3fbdd48a907d7168d0bc5310a0072f8b844aa799dd3365
Fedora-Live-Xfce-x86_64-23-10.iso
275a4d25bccb92fee667ef2500cd8eba7bb8dbe1546b08869116327771d8356d
/dev/sdc
It does boot up and there is an icon for "Install to hard drive".
Dare I trust it with the sha256 sums not matching?
"dd" seems to be a really sweet way to install this to a flash
drive. Takes less than a minute. Is dd for this something new?
