Why squashfs.img instead of /dev/live?
Try
./livecd-iso-to-disk /dev/live /dev/sdi1
and see if that works any better.

Thanks. In fact, I just finally got this working about an hour before
your email arrived.
1) I was not realizing it wanted to simply see the entire ISO disk
mount as you described above.
2) This still did not work for me. I needed to modify the livecd-iso-
to-disk bash script exactly as indicated here:
http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/Fedora/2008-05/msg02303.html
Then it worked perfectly.
Thanks for the help.
