I have been unable to write Snap3 on any SD card, despite a few tries. I cannot avoid getting "out of space on device" errors (this is a 4GB SD card), such as:
It is OK to use this media.

And the SD card filesystem is left in a moderately hosed-up state. Advice/corrections would be much appreciated! Thanks.

FYI XO Testers,
Snap#3 is out. I've managed to write and boot this on my XO with no major test blockers as of yet.
Thanks, James

This is the final snapshot before our final devel freeze and subsequent preview release. On the torrent site you'll find install images and live images for testing. http://torrent.fedoraproject.org/
The i686 Live is just over 700M in size, so you /may/ have trouble burning it if your media is very strict about it's size.
Of important note, these images do have a bug in them, https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=468360 where some realtek network cards will not initialize properly. This bug has been fixed in today's rawhide, which was too late for the snapshot. If you use the snapshot and fail to have networking, you'll need to update the kernel.
Thanks for the testing!

I had the same problem last night. I also tried the latest livecd script from git (which has the --compress option) but that didn't work at all for me. It kept erroring out claiming there was only ~1700mb free on the card, which is completely wrong. So it thought there wasn't enough space for the image, and quit.
I spent several hours just trying to make a bootable SD card last night and had no luck. Is this the state we're currently in? If people have been successful can someone please doc the real steps somewhere? The wiki instructions don't seem to work.
Hmm, interesting. I added the --compress option last night, and it has been working fine for me. Are you sure you don't have any hidden trash directories on your card, or something?
