Ah, I see. I believe the primary target for live-usb-creator is
people
who are not using fedora yet (I hear there's still some of those out
there...).
Well, sure, but the question is not 'who is liveusb-creator targeting?'
but 'what should people who hit
getfedora.org from Fedora see?'
So long as we just give out .iso files and some links to instructions
on what to do with them, it's not really a problem. But with the idea
that we should instead give out liveusb-creator, it becomes a problem
to be solved. Should we provide Fedora users with a button that
magically installs liveusb-creator properly? Or do...something else?
Even with traditional live images on the getfedora page, it is a bit
strange for a Fedora user to go there and download an .iso, isn't it ?
Since downloading the .iso is not really the preferred way to upgrade
your system either...
Well, not necessarily: it depends if they're going there to upgrade the
system they're browsing from, or if they want to install on some
*other* system. In an ideal world I'd suggest we should handle both
cases nicely, but I'm not the one who has to do the coding and the web
design. ;)
