This testcase [1] should ensure, that if the user uses dd to transfer

I propose this as a Alpha verification testcase.
---------------------------
= Description =
This test verifies that Fedora Live Image can be booted from USB stick.
There are more methods to create the Live USB stick, this test covers dd.
== Setup ==
* Prepare the Live ISO image and USB stick.
* Copy the Live.iso to the USB stick using dd [1]
== How to test ==
* Insert the USB stick containing Live.iso, and boot the system under test
* At the boot prompt, interrupt the automatic boot sequence by pressing any key. Then
select the menu option Boot.
== Expected Results ==
* A graphical boot menu is displayed and the graphics look reasonably good. While hi-res
images aren't supported in the boot menu, the graphics should not look extremely
pixelated.
* Upon selecting Boot, the Live image boots successfully.

Thanks for your work on this!
For the three test cases that cover writing live images to USB,
including this one, we want to test not just that the image *boots*, but
that an installation can be successfully performed using the stick.
Could you extend the test cases to cover this?
