Media writer might just be dumping the iso onto the drive. In that

to reformat it to be able to write.
I prefer to use the cli tool livecd-iso-to-disk which unpacks the iso
and creates a bootable drive with a FAT file system. It also allows
using overlays and separate home directory, but it's also not as
simple as media writer.
Also what file system should I use from the selection offered by
gparted? Today I tried "vfat32". Later changed that to "vfat" with
mkfs, but I'm never sure what I should use. Whatever, it should work
in Fedora and my daughter's Mac portable, as well as the digital
audiobook player which is probably expecting Windows stuff.

I appreciate the good, clear answers to both questions. Thank you, Sam,
Bob
FAT32 is the usual portable filesystem.
