The 2-step method I used was 1) run the LiveUSB Creator using the DVD image as the source 2) delete the /packages and /repodata subdirectories from the USB stick, then copy the whole ISO to the root of the USB stick. For the 64-bit version it required a semi-step of opening the ISO file and deleting a few language files from the OpenOffice package, saving the ISO to a new name so it would fit on the USB stick, THEN copying it to the root of the USB stick. I haven't made one for fc13 yet, so don't know if that's necessary. Check for bootability with QEMU: # mount to find where the USB stick mounted from (assuming autofs is installed), then, presuming it mounted from /dev/sdf, run # umount /dev/sdf1 to unmount it, then # qemu -hda /dev/sdf -m 256 -vga std again, match the /dev/sd? part If it boots properly using QEMU but won't boot your computer, almost certainly the USB port is not configured correctly to be bootable (e.g. in the computer's BIOS). After it boots and you choose an install option from the syslinux.cfg menu, it will ask you the location of the image file and prompt you to choose its location from a list... it shouldn't be hard to figure out which one is the USB stick. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
