I dd'ed the full DVD (not the KDE LiveCD) into a 8GB USB and used
to to
upgrade / fresh install F17 on multiple machines without issues. *
First, apologies for posting to this newsgroup -
I meant to aim for the fedora.general list.
However, the systems I was installing were actually both Fedora-17/KDE,
so I wasn't too far off.
I used a very cheap 32GB USB stick -
maybe that was the cause of my problems ...
I started by dd-ing the DVD iso onto the single partition /dev/sdb1
on the stick.
For some reason this did not boot,
so I deleted the partition (with fdisk)
and dd-ed the iso onto /dev/sdb .
Maybe that was my error?
