It's supposed to be possible to make a "live" USB stick out of a "live" CD 
image. I haven't tried that but I have sometimes installed Fedora using an 
installation DVD image and two USB sticks. I put the DVD image on one USB 
stick such that the ISO image was a file in the file system on the stick. 
Then I took the image file diskboot.img (which seems to be efidisk.img in 
Fedora 9) from the DVD image and wrote it to another USB stick such that the 
image became the file system on the stick. As I recall I first inserted the 
boot stick and booted from it. Then I inserted the other USB stick, selected 
the option to install from a hard disk, and gave the installer the path to 
the DVD image on the stick.
