	Preparing Boot Media
	The Fedora docs team
	Fedora images are `Hybrid ISOs` and can be used to create installation media with both optical and USB disks, for booting on both BIOS and UEFI systems.
	Fedora Media Writer
	[application]Fedora Media Writer has been significantly improved and is now the official, tested and supported way to make bootable media. [application]Fedora Media Writer supports Linux, macOS, and Windows. It is an easy way to make bootable USB media to install Fedora (or other operating systems). Using [application]Fedora Media Writer is strongly encouraged, although other USB media creation software can work as well.
	Some of the new additions to [application]Fedora Media Writer are that Fedora Workstation and Server are easily and quickly accessible from the selection on the main screen. Further choices are available if you select the button below _Custom image_. This offers a selection of various Fedora Spins, such as Xfce or Mate.
	Historically, universal USB creation tools, such as [application]Unetbootin, are a popular way to create USB installers from ISOs intended for optical media. They typically create a filesystem on the USB drive by extracting files from the image, and writing [application]syslinux bootloader to the device.
	These methods circumvent the boot-loader configuration built into Fedora images, which are pre-partitioned and designed to boot on UEFI systems with SecureBoot enabled as well as BIOS systems, and thus they do not produce consistent results with Fedora images, especially on UEFI systems.
	The best results are produced by utilities that use a direct write method and do not modify the Fedora image.
	Always think twice before writing an image to the device. The media creation methods described in this article are destructive. All data on the USB stick are deleted during the process, so make sure you have a back up of the data on the USB stick. Double check that you have selected correct device to write the image to!
	Installing and running Fedora Media Writer
	On Fedora
	On Fedora 25 or later, [application]Fedora Media Writer is available in the default repository. You can use `dnf` to install the package.
	To install the [application]Fedora Media Writer using:
	$ [command]#sudo dnf install mediawriter#
	Run the [application]Fedora Media Writer:
	$ [command]#mediawriter#
	or in [application]Gnome 3 select Activities and then click on [application]Fedora Media Writer.
	On other Linux distributions
