Yep! It's really easy:
1) Get a copy of the LiveCD image, either from the mirrors or a torrent
2) 'yum install livecd-tools' on a F7t4 system
3) 'livecd-iso-to-disk $path_to_iso $usb_device'
- $usb_device should be the (unmounted) partition for your USB drive.
This process is non-destructive - your USB thumbdrive will not be
formatted. It just needs to be FAT{16,32} or ext{2,3} formatted and
have enough room to hold the Live data.
It's a *lot* faster than the LiveCD, too. But it still works just like
the LiveCD - changes you write to the filesystem while running will
*not* be preserved.
Enjoy!
