Re: What is this mega-dvd-test?

I used an early F14 version of livecd-iso-to-disk, which may explain some
different behavior.  There is one significant difference in how the
script is invoked: in the F13 version, the device argument can (must?) be
the base device, such as the /dev/sdc you used where you likely have a
/dev/sdc1 partition allocated for a VFAT filesystem; in the F14 version
of livecd-iso-to-disk, the device argument must be the explicit
designation for the partition to use, as /dev/sdh1 in my case.

This seems a useful change, because one might have several partitions for
diverse purposes, especially with the larger flash drives that are
presently available.

We probably should use the latest-and-greatest livecd-iso-to-disk script
from git in order to avoid stumbles over issues already fixed.

I gather some recent activity has addressed issues with ext (instead of
FAT) partitions; that is something I should like to try again.

I think there remains some question about whether livecd-iso-to-disk is
even intended to write this mega-DVD to a USB flash drive.  It would be
nice to know this is supposed to work before we spend much effort to try
it.
