How does it matter? I mounted the iso as a loop device, mounted the USB
stick, and copied over the files. While copying, it should not matter
what file systems at both ends are, does it?

That is, apparently, the crux of the problem. I am using Debian using
Debian sources (repos) and I do not have this package available to me.
In any case, it sort of beats the purpose since this requires Fedora
already installed to install Fedora :(

The sensible way, IMHO, is to have a method that work in a Linux based
system of any flavor. Using dd is the way to do, but I am missing
something here since it is not working for me.
