Note that various editions of the game spin are over 4 GB (but under 4 GiB). 
and hence may not work on a 4 GB USB stick. (I think the currently nightly 
will just barely fit.)

You can use livecd-iso-to-disk to do this using overlays. There are some 
limitations of doing things this way, but it works. Also if you have 8GB 
to work with, you can throw on a few more favorite games. (There are a 
number of games with really big data sets in Fedora and only a few of those 
fit on the games spin.)
