In the official fedora install documentation there is a section "Making USB Media", http://docs.fedoraproject.org/install-guide/f10/en_US/sn-making-media.htm... , there are subsections for Windows and Linux. In the linux instructions, the only instructions for installing livecd-tools are for Fedora. Obviously many users installing Fedora don't have it on their computer already, which makes using windows the only documented option. I think its important to have documentation for using other linux distros. A lot of laptops don't have cd drives nowadays. Going to try fedora on your laptop and first thing finding that having windows is the only officially documented way move to fedora with your hardware is not a good message. Also, I went to see if this had been discussed before, but there is no search feature on the archive. Its here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-livecd-list/ Any way around that?

Actually, the reason why it is that way is because more people from Windows prefer Live USB. Anyway, this is a documentation enhancement and should be filed in bugzilla.redhat.com against that guide.
