I'm coming to this discussion late as I've just joined this list (so I can't reply to the original post as I'd like to), but on Debian I was able to create a bootable Fedora live CD/installer on a USB stick as follows: 1) Write MBR to stick Debian has a program to write an MBR. On Fedora you can do: # cat /usr/share/syslinux/mbr.bin > /dev/sdb 2) Cat iso to disk, i.e. # cat fedora-img.iso > /dev/sdb Like the OP, I first tried dd to copy the image which didn't work but cat does. I'd be interested in why that is. -- 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
