I think he's talking about liveusb-creator, in which case yes, this is more or less what it is. I would be leery about making luc the 'main' download for Workstation given its current abilities and the resources currently devoted to it, though. In my experience it's the least reliable of the 'official' USB writing mechanisms, after dd-style writes (most reliable) and livecd-iso-to-disk. I'm also not sure if we have a packaging of luc for non-Fedora distros or OS X. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net -- desktop mailing list desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
