I did this just a couple of days ago with a 1 GB Data Traveller stick.
I'll make this quick:

1. With fdisk
	1. delete any existing partitions on the stick.
	2. create a new partition.
	3. mark the new partition bootable.
	4. write your changes.
2. create a ext3 file system on the stick's new partition.
3. run the live to usb tool.

I know I missed all the details, but the steps above should be enough to
get your stick running with Fedora 9.

HTH,

Ranbir
