I've made two live xfce spin usb sticks, neither works. So I installed S-L 6.2 from a USB stick that does work. Now my problem is to install Fedora 17 instead. I would like to install directly from the internet but my efforts at googling that have been unproductive. The computer has no CD/DVD drive so that method is out. It appears to be USB or nothing and I haven't been able to make that work. Any suggestions appreciated. Bob -- http://www.qrz.com/db/W2BOD box7

I solved the problem by installing the hard drive in another computer that recognized the usb stick and installing from there. The drive is presently back in the new computer and doing a yum update of F-17. Thanks, Bob -- http://www.qrz.com/db/W2BOD box7

Look, if you have a working grub2 then you can boot the iso from the HD. I've been booting it many times the F17 Xfce spin so I could compare with my F17 Xfce install. Follow the guide at http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=278732 (basically the first post but you need to use /isolinux/ instead of /EFI/boot/ as described in the third post). I haven't tried installing by this method but I would think that if you put the ISO in a separate partition then maybe you would have no problem installing it to a different partition.

Yes, I always do that. I've made two copies, neither will boot. What else can I do, seems I should be able to install directly from the internet perhaps? -- http://www.qrz.com/db/W2BOD box7

Download the Live CD, use the liveusb-creator to write the image to a USB drive. Boot from it. -- Suvayu Open source is the future. It sets us free.
