Install livecd-tools and use livecd-iso-to-disk to make the stick. If you use --reset-mbr --efi --format and point it at the whole device, all data on the stick is lost, but it'll create a BIOS+UEFI bootable stick. All files will be on FAT32 which is read writable, including either grub.cfg (used on UEFI) or syslinux.conf (used on BIOS). When you dd the image to the USB stick, it retains the ISO's format of iso9660 which isn't a writable format. -- Chris Murphy -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
