John --- for fixing systems that are borked or preping for offsite installs is how  I took it ...

Thomas --- parted OR gnome-disks (both to my knowledge are on ALL Fedora lives can do a reformat of a dd'd usb or other drive for that matter...

mkfs.ext4 (or w/e) /dev/sdX (must be unmounted ofc)

parted  /dev/sdX

set 1 boot on (makes part 1 or sdx in case of no follow on parts) bootable as a gparted (manage flags operation would do )

Not to be pedantic, but this seems a little redundant.  You're talking about creating a live image when you're already booted under a live image.  Or am I misunderstanding something here?

Unfortunately gparted is the only way to repair a usb stick dd'd with fedora. Need to use gparted's "create a new mbr" and formatting it fat32, boot flag set. The included "disks"  does not seem to have this feature.
This is needed for fedora liveusb-creator GUI to create a bootable live USB stick.

GParted provides a number of essential features users might need, some

something like resizing FAT partitions is what I have not seen in any
other tools in Fedora repositories except kde-partitionmanager.
Anaconda provides resizing facility, but not move. Also, I'm not sure
if Anaconda can resize FAT partitions. 
Hi Hedayat,

gparted should not be included because it's an advanced tool for
technical users, whereas Fedora Workstation needs to contain only tools
that are easy for everyone to use. Keep in mind that programs included
in the live image will also wind up on the installed system.
