How do I extract the release .zip and .z01 into an .iso?

[Jason Han]

Hi, what is the way to obtain the full .iso from the release files? I believe they are multipart but I'm not sure how to combine them into a single zip that unzip or my archive program can recognize. Can you please let me know the full command(s) to use? Thanks!

Two ways but all have the same requirement: the livecd.zip and livecd.z01 need to be in the same folder.

1 - The Unarchiver

• Right click on any on the files
• Open with The Unarchiver

As long as they are in the same folder, it will be able to join them together automatically.

2 - Terminal

• Open Terminal
  The commands will look like this:

cd LOCATION_OF_FOLDER
cat file.z0N file.zip > name_of_unsplit_file.zip
unzip name_of_unsplit_file.zip

So, for me:

cd Downloads
cat livecd.z01 livecd.zip > livecd_unsplit.zip
unzip livecd_unsplit.zip

Cheers

Guys please...

Everything is in a readme ;)

• Download .iso from releases section - https://github.com/mikeeq/mbp-fedora/releases/latest
  • If it's splitted into multiple zip parts, you need to join splitted files into one and then extract it via unzip or extract them directly via 7z x or 7za x
    • https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/40480/how-to-unzip-a-multipart-spanned-zip-on-linux
• Burn the image on USB stick >=8GB via:
  • dd - dd bs=4M if=/home/user/Downloads/livecd-fedora-mbp-201908181858.iso of=/dev/sdc conv=fdatasync status=progress
  • rufus (GPT)- https://rufus.ie/
  • fedora media writer (custom image option)- https://getfedora.org/en/workstation/download/
  • don't use livecd-iso-to-disk, because it's overwriting grub settings

If you will have any problems with booting the latest version from releases try v5.6.7-f32 release, it was built without DP patch.
