Look at this script for reference:
http://autopsy.liveprojects.info/EXTRAS/liveusb.sh

The only parts which are not scripted, and are interactive are the
fdisk and grub sections, which can probably be scripted.

I download SDA-256MB-FEDORA-CORE-5-BASED-i386-LIVEUSB.IMG

and I installed with

dd if=SDA-256MB-FEDORA-CORE-5-BASED-i386-LIVEUSB.IMG of=/dev/sda1 bs=512
493796+0 records in
493796+0 records out
252823552 bytes (253 MB) copied, 357.003 s, 708 kB/s

but when I boot I have

load kernel OK
load initrd OK

some message:
/linuxrc: 56 /initrd/sbin/MAKEDEV: not found

mounting initrd_devpts on dev_pts: no such file or directory

/linuxrc 64 /etc/rc.readonly not found
kernel panicnot syncing

You might want to check the SHA1SUM of the image you downloaded before 
writing
it to the device, and after writing the image to the device use "sync" 
to be sure all data
has been written to disk.

It is not uncommon for things written to USB devices to become corrupt 
due to unplugging
the device before all buffers and cache are flushed.

I just tested the image you are speaking of and it works fine for me.

sda is the whole device, sda1 is the first partition on that device.
You definitely want to use /dev/sda for that particular image.

I try with /dev/sda

after dd command
I have
sda---> sda1 (200MB)

grub is installed
boot from usb works OK

I select fedora in menu grub
loading kernel, initrd
I think problem is after decompression of usbroot.squash

how can I check it ?
