Just performed two test of an usb key both created livecd-to-iso

One network install and another one of an usb key it self ( dvd )

In both the installation process itself went but both times it resulted 
in anaconda installing the mbr on the usb key which leaves the user with 
unbootable system ( without the key ) and totally unrecovarable ( since 
they need to shrink the primary partition to create a mbr partition on 
it ) .
