Yeah, he tried it because I asked him to do so, after I sent out this email :-)

As a heads up: I'm very disappointed from the state LiveUSB creator is in. Yesterday it wasn't able to detect a flash drive for me. I'll try today again and report bug if I can reproduce. Generally LiveUSB creator is very picky on the medium partitioning and every time I use it, my feelings are "That bloody tool never works correctly, why do we even use it?". Once F19 is out, I'd like to start a discussion how we can do better. I'd love to see us participating on some upstream project rather than developing our own project instead. For heaven's sake, 90% of that code is the same for any distributions out there, there is no need to nurture a NIH syndrome here.

Also, it would be nice if we could trim down the number of "officially supported" ISO->USB conversion methods. The combinatorial explosion is insane here. If we were to do our job properly, we would have to test 27 approaches how to create a thumb drive (3 tools x 3 images x 3 architectures) for every compose.
