I followed this install method today on a Dell Latitude 610 and it was
fast
and flawless with one exception.
The usbdrive must be unmounted to write the image.
su -c 'livecd-iso-to-disk *the_image.iso* /dev/*sdX1*'
Newbies may not catch that.
In my case I wanted to install from a usbkey but using the full DVD iso as
it contains so many more packages. I added a section containing a how-to at
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraLiveCD/USBHowTo#How_to_Make_a_bootable_USB_Drive_to_Install_Fedora_11_instead_of_using_a_physical_DVD
I hope this will also help.
There are two things which would make the page more obvious. The first is how
boot.iso gets on your system or how to find it if it's installed by yum, and the
second what type filesystem you expect to find on the USB key, since some of us
have old USB keys around which have been rewritten for other uses.
You might also mention mounting the key, since many people disable auto-mounting
of media for various reasons.
