I agree, smartctl should be on the live image. I know the idea is to keep the ISO size down but it makes the live media useless as a diagnostic utility so I usually end up keeping System Rescue CD on a old 1GB usb stick for real diagnostic work or when I'm upgrading drives and need it to move everything over.

Thanks,

Yes, I had to dnf install it to the working live system, assume it is lost at shutdown. Ln rummaging around I found gparted on a flash stick, that's another one I seem often to need and don't always have.
