Wow. Must be the collective unconsciousness. I was just thinking about
this today.
Of course, what you described, I think can be done pretty trivially.
I.e. just get the livecd-tools /usr/bin/livecd-iso-to-disk (either by
spinning your own livecd with the livecd-tools rpm, or wget/urlgrabbing
a copy of the script from somewhere, etc...) and then doing
livecd-iso-to-disk /dev/root /dev/<your usb device partition here>
err... make that /dev/live instead of /dev/root
That is F7-LiveCD-Itself-to-LiveUSB. For
F7-LiveCD-Itself-to-spin-new-cd you would do something like
livecd-creator --base-on=/dev/root
/dev/live here as well. Though you will need to get livecd-creator and
dependencies installed. (yum install livecd-creator from the livecd will work
if you have enough ram and a net connection). And you'll no doubt want to use
--tmpdir pointing to some place with lots of space mounted (i.e. not use the
default tmpdir of /var/tmp which would be in ram usually on a livecd)
