Long time stalker, first time thread creator :). I consider myself fairly proficient with Fedora but this simple issue has me seriously stumped and embarrassed. I've been trying to get the latest Fedora to run from an USB stick. This is what I've tried so far 1. Fedora Live USB creator on Windows (doesn't have an option for F13, tried with the F12 option no go) 2. UNetBootIN on Ubuntu Linux: Doesn't have an option for F13, did not attempt to use the F12 option. 3. Fedora live usb creator from source on Ubuntu (after installing the required qt4 dependencies). This has no option for F13 and looks identical to the one for windows so I didn't try this.
In all cases the error is on the lines of "Unable to mount /squashfs/../Ext3fs ..". I get through isolinux but no luck after the drop like load screen starts. Additionally I get a flood of messages about my CDROM drive (which is broken) when starting but I'm pretty sure it is irrelevant in this case.
I've looked through the all the docs I could furiously google for but I can't seem to find an appropriate solution.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

From Fedora 12 onwards you can just dd the image to your USB drive and it
should boot. So if sdb if your Pen Drive, the command would be dd if=/path/to/iso of=/dev/sdb. To make the Pen Drive usable again, just build a new partition table using fdisk or GParted. (You can easily google on how to do this)

Doing this, but how would one have a persistent overlay in this case?
