<pre wrap="">I recently took a f11 live USB stick and used it to install

<pre wrap="">Not a naive question, but I guess the answer is, you don't need the
Live USB creation process to do that -- you can just install to a USB
key using the standard installer. �The Live USB process grew out of
the Live CD case, because it's a way to use one image in two different
types of media. �If you want a bootable stick that's simply a piece of
media like a hard disk, you can do that with Anaconda at any time,
booting either your system or a VM guest with boot or installation
media, and then installing to the USB key.

<pre wrap="">IMHO, it would be nice if that process was done by the fedora
folks and the resulting USB image was provided along with the
live images. �That way, somebody that wanted a bootable USB
would have a choice of the live CD image (which seems to have
some vestigial organs as a result of its evolution from Live CD)
or a file that could simply be dd'd onto a USB stick. �You could
even have different sizes with a different number of packages
for different size USB sticks.

<pre wrap=""><!---->Hmmm... I think I found something like what I'm talking about on
the fedora 12 release notes:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_12_Alpha_release_notes#Hybrid_ISO_images_-_Simple_and_Easy_Live_USB.27s">http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_12_Alpha_release_notes#Hybrid_ISO_images_-_Simple_and_Easy_Live_USB.27s</a>
Is that what I'm talking about or is it just an easier way to get
the identical image onto a USB?
Thanks,
David

jeez when i brought up the idea of fedora using hybrid iso's a few
months back i was basically lambasted by most on this list, now all of
a sudden it's a new F12 feature? wtf???<br>
