That's interesting. I guess I've always avoided it by copying the .iso image to
the USB drive as well so it just finds it there. That's also handy because then
you have the full .iso image to share with others or create new USB installers.
I wonder if this new change will now take up twice the space if I use this method.
Prior to the changes in F17, if you used livecd-iso-to-disk to write a
DVD image to USB, the packages also got written and were accessible to
the installer. You didn't have to copy anything manually. At least in my
testing.
