Hello
I have a x86_64 iso file containing a livecd image created with
livecd-creator, Fedora 22.
To copy this image to an USB stick, I use the following command:
livecd-iso-to-disk --format --reset-mbr --efi <imgfile.iso> /dev/sdc
I get an error:

ERROR: This live image does not support EFI booting
What's supposed to be wrong with the immage? I have an image created in
April 2015, Fedora 20 or 21 that works with the same command.
Thanks and regards,

Feedback:
The --efi option is not need when using a live ISO that has it
in it.
My current favorite ISO is Fedora-Live-Xfce-x86_64-23-10.iso
which does boot from UEFI.
And, the full install of the above to a flash drive also
will boot from UEFI. I find that holding down the "esc"
key at boot will get your the boot over ride on "some"
computers.
Also, it boots from Apple MAC's if you hold down the "option" key
(not the flower key) when it is booting. This will give you
the choice of what boot device. (I forget who told me this,
so I can't reference them).
