I do the following and have not had any problems with this method since I started using it a year or two back: First I plug the usbstick in - and check the device name by looking at /var/log/messages - let's say the device is seen to be /dev/sdb1. Then *as root* I do the following (the # is the root prompt so the command is after the "# ": # umount /dev/sdb1 # livecd-iso-to-disk --reset-mbr /home/mike/Documents/install_stuff/f14-beta/Fedora-14-Beta-i386-DVD.iso /dev/sdb1 If you have an oddball file structure on the stick you can reformat it at the same time by adding the "--format" flag to the above command (without the quotes of course) Amend the path to the iso file to suit the location and name of your install iso, and the correct device name for your stick. This needs the livecd-tools package installed so ensure it is there before you start. This works flawlessly for me in f14, and it did in f13 also. When I boot from the stick it just boots to the installer and off I go. -- mike c -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
