Before passing the tests please prepare in advance the data concerning booting the system.

For MAIN

• Before passing this test, boot the system in safe mode, copy down the full text of errors if any (or take a photo of the screen). After that, booted into the graphical enviroment, get the output of demsg and attach it along with the Xorg.0.log.

For MEDIA

• Record bootable DVD-ROM with any available Windows utility. Copy down the full text of errors if any.
• Record bootable DVD-ROM with k3b or other LINUX GUI-utility (brasero, nautilus-cd-burner etc). Copy down the full text of errors if any.
• Record bootable DVD-ROM in Linux using dd command, as follows:

dd if=image.iso of=/dev/<disk>

(for more information see dd page on LQwiki http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/Dd). Copy down the full text of errors if any.

When booting from the obtained DVD-ROM in Live mode all stages of the 1st launch must work properly. In case of errors, please, provide the full text of the errors, screenshot or take a photo of the screen.

After booting in the LIVE mode, check that:

• There is no unnecessary data requests (please, note down which data is requested)
• The algorithm Quit works properly
• The algorithm Lock works properly
• The algorithm Switch User works properly
• The algorithm Sleep Mode works properly
• The algorithm Reboot works properly. After you restart the system there should not be any changes to the hard drive of your PC. Especially check that the boot record of the hard disk is not damaged.
• The algorithm Switch off works properly. After you restart the system there should not be any changes to the hard drive of your PC. Especially check that the boot record of the hard disk is not damaged.

Create a bootable image on flash device with a command

livecd-iso-to-disk /path/to/image.iso /dev/USBPARTITIONNAME

The result should be a flash device with two folders DATA and SYSTEM. System should boot successfully from this device.

When booting from this USB-drive in live mode check that:

• all stages of the 1st launch work properly. In case of errors please copy down the full output of the errors.
• live user logs in automatically
• there is no unnecessary data requests during boot process (please, note down which data is requested, if not)

Make some custom changes to the system after booting from Live-USB: change the widgets, uninstall some rpm-packages. It is important to uninstall a package correctly, for example, the package kde-l10n-en_GB or any package with the option -nodeps. In a footnote you'll have to indicate that it is done and provide the output of rpm-qa | grep …

Reboot: after system restart all the changes must be present and work properly. In case of some changes unsaved you'll have to make a detailed report, as audited and the output of

cat /etc/sysconfig/draklive-install

Power off. After another booting of the system all your changes must be present. In case of unsaved changes, please, make a detailed report, indicate how did you check the changes, for example, provide the output of

cat /etc/sysconfig/draklive-install

From the modified system on the flash-device from the Live mode install the system on the hard disk (draklive-install in the console) and make sure that the changes are saved and operate in the installed system (provide the output of rpm-qa | grep ... and / or screenshots).
