I must be doing something wrong. On my FC9 with livecd-tools-0.17.3-1.fc9 Ive tried: livecd-iso-to-disk Fedora-12-i686-Live.iso /dev/sdc1 livecd-iso-to-disk Fedora-12-i686-Live.iso /dev/sdc (required mkdosfs -I and mkfs.vfat -I) liveusb-creator Fedora-12-i686-Live.iso and, thinking it might be a subtle difference in the iso structure, I tried the same commands with Fedora-9-i686-Live.iso They all failed with a 'Boot error'. I then moved to my newly installed and updated FC12 system, with livecd-tools-031-1.fc12.1 and tried: livecd-iso-to-disk Fedora-12-i686-Live.iso /dev/sdb1 livecd-iso-to-disk --format --reset-mbr Fedora-12-i686-Live.iso /dev/sdb1 livecd-iso-to-disk --format --reset-mbr Fedora-12-i686-Live.iso /dev/sdb liveusb-creator Fedora-12-i686-Live.iso These also failed in the same way. The only thing that works is 'dd if=Fedora-12-i686-Live.iso of=/dev/sdb bs=8M' and if it wasnt for this I would think either my memsticks or my bios were faulty. If anyone out there has actually got this stuff to work on FC12, *please* would you share the secrets. And if it failed, can we compare notes, and I'll file a bug report.
