I "Finally" have a customer interested in Fedora.  I

Question:  Is there a way to use the extra space on the
drive to install a few more programs for him to experiment
with?

If you are really makking the spin yourself,
you should be able to put anything you want on it.
I infer that you are actually copying a .iso file to a USB stick.

I have on occasion installed a Fedora system onto
an SD card sitting in a USB SD card reader/writer.
Do the install.
Update.
Add stuff you want.
Hand it to customer.
You might want to make /bin /usr/bin and some
other directories and their files unwriteable.

Another possibility.
IIRC a .iso file will boot from a partition.
Give the flash device two partitions.
Make the first partition a copy of the .iso file.
In the other partition, put a bunch of .rpm's
and a script that the customer can click on.
