The page at: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_create_and_use_Live_USB says "Note that the liveusb-creator GUI, however, does not support putting the DVD installer on USB." I used the "manual" procedure described below this statement and prepared a USB flash drive that contains F13-Beta-x86_64-Live.iso and which worked well to install F13 beta. Some observations... It is *essential* to check the box for the installation media drive as one of the drives to use for this installation. If not, the installer complains it cannot find the media it needs. This list of drives does not provide enough details. In my case, I had two 1TB drives of the same model. The identification of each was identical - which one do I wish to identify as the target for installation? My "solution" was to guess one (arbitrary choice), then later say I wanted to create a custom layout. This gave me the opportunity to see the existing partitions on all the drives, choose something to delete (from any drive, without limitation to the "installation" drives) and create space for the new F13 system. I still have no idea what drive the installer thought I wanted to use when I made this arbitrary choice. Even though the Beta release is only two days old, a "yum update" retrieved 499 packages to process. This surprised me (I guess Fedora testers and developers are working quickly) - it would have been nice to get a good part of this half-gigabyte of newer code into the Beta media. I am sure there are multiple reasons for this; ours is an imperfect world. After I removed the gupnp packages from the update set (this problem was reported earlier on this list), the update was successful. There were annoying delays (timeouts, I guess) of about one minute during update of sendmail, and two minutes during cleanup of sendmail. The update process was somewhat noisy.
