Subject: Re: Bootable usb stick with the fedora install
/partially off topic
Guys,
Just an technical question - is it possible to add next to memtest and such
utils our liveusb creator as an boot menu option? I mean, the user loads the
disc, and If he/she choosing this option - the ISO copies to RAM along with
liveusb creator - and the user could write out to anywhere - to the target
device.....

I have never had much luck with that dd method. I do the following
and have not had any problems with this method since I started using
it a year or two back:
First I plug the usbstick in - and check the device name by looking at
/var/log/messages - let's say the device is seen to be /dev/sdb1. Then
*as root* I do the following (the # is the root prompt so the command
is after the "# ": # umount /dev/sdb1
# livecd-iso-to-disk --reset-mbr
/home/mike/Documents/install_stuff/f14-beta/Fedora-14-Beta-i386-DVD.iso
/dev/sdb1
If you have an oddball file structure on the stick you can reformat it
at the same time by adding the "--format" flag to the above command
(without the quotes of course) Amend the path to the iso file to suit
the location and name of your install iso, and the correct device name
for your stick. This needs the livecd-tools package installed so
ensure it is there before you start.
This works flawlessly for me in f14, and it did in f13 also. When I
boot from the stick it just boots to the installer and off I go.
