Well 'dd' worked without a problem to clear the PNY 64GB drive I that
was at hand and I put Fedora 33 beta on it:
[root@WS-1 /]# dd
if=/home/bobg/Downloads/Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-33_Beta-1.3.iso
of=/dev/sdc bs=8M status=progress
2028060672 bytes (2.0 GB, 1.9 GiB) copied, 126 s, 16.1 MB/s
241+1 records in
241+1 records out
2028060672 bytes (2.0 GB, 1.9 GiB) copied, 126.227 s, 16.1 MB/s
[root@WS-1 /]# sync
Put the flash drive in the other computer to test, the nedia chck worked
and it started and asked if it should install to disk. That worked
simply enough once I understood the instructions. I will try it on this
box where I want to install to /dev/sdb.
My only concern is getting the standard partition scheme, I may need
media writer for that.

There is a partitioning tool in the installer. In that tool the is an advanced section. Not sure if it has what you want. You could always get a second thumb drive and install gparted in it.
