The Fedora-15-i386-DVD.iso image does not have the hard drive boot
loader code at the beginning of the image. So it will not boot when
copied to a USB stick. Where the hard drive boot loader and
partition table are on a hard drive are all zeros on the DVD images.

The live CDs do have the code, so they will boot when copied to a
USB stick.
