            Unknown filesystem for %s. Your device may need to be reformatted.
        If you haven't already done so you may want to start from the beginning
        and assume the usb stick has trash for a disklabel and needs to have
        that rewritten also.  Then you need to mark it as ext3 and finally
        mkfs.ext3 the partition.

        Simplest way to do all the above is to yum install gparted, have it
        delete any partitions it finds.  Then have it create a label with one
        partition that spans the whole drive, label it as ext3 and format as
        ext3.  (I just needed to do that for an f12 install on a dvdless
        netbook.  Don't ask me why the liveusb creator doesn't just do all
        that. It isn't likely that many folks installing a Linux OS for the
        first time are going to be able to figure out all the above.)

       I think I did essentially the same thing, I used fdisk to
       reformat the drive as Linux [83] then did mkfs ext3.

       I was able to copy a text file to it, display the file, and then
       remove it. Everything seemed to work, I just couldn't copy the
       F12 LiveCD iso to it with livecd-tools or liveusb-creator. It
       was a 2 gig stick containing no other files.

       Put the other stick in and it worked. Obviously there's
       something wrong, perhaps with my process? I have another
       computer running F12 on the thumb drive now. Next to decide if I
       want to install from that or try an upgrade procedure. I always
       have to consider bandwidth usage sine I am limited by Wildblue
       to 17 gigs/30days. I'm presently around six gigs used! That's
       why I've been installing from the livecd versions and just
       adding what I want.

       Thanks for the response.
