I suppose since all that is installed on

 the /dev/sdb1 LIVE partition is

  LiveOS   - 130.4 MB
  syslinux   -  29.4 MB

  Properties: 159.9 MB used
                       5.2 GB  free
  Filesystem type:msdos


 the /dev/sdb2 LIVE-REPO contains a 2.5 GB .iso file.

  Properties: 2.5 GB used
                168.9 MB free
  Filesystem type:msdos

It could be  much smaller.
Looks like a 4 GB USB should work well for this.

I did not use the graphical liveusb-creator to build this installer DVD USB however.

./tools_livecd-iso-to-disk.sh --format --reset-mbr
Fedora-17-Beta-x86_64-DVD.iso /dev/sdb1

1-)needed an 8GB USB formatted GPT format with /dev/sdb1 formatted fat
in disk-utility
2-)only 4GB was formatted label:LIVE and 4GB was left unformatted
3-)a second partition was created by anaconda labeled LIVE-REPO (with
Fedora 17 Beta-x86-64-DVD.iso inside)

Another issue with 8GB USB sticks is that liveusb-creator won't let you
use their full capacity:
