bootable USB key

[Patrick Dupre]

Hello,

I was thinking in making a bootable USB key for the installation.
I read: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_create_and_use_Live_USB
There is instruction about creating partitions and install the .iso on one
of them and make it bootable. The example is with a single partition:
su -c "livecd-iso-to-disk --reset-mbr   
Fedora-17-x86_64-Live-Desktop.iso /dev/sdX"

I am surprise taht we could not make the same on a specific partition by
making it bootable, like we do on a usual hardrive.
UNetbootin or liveusb-creator do not seem to have this option.

Am I wrong?

Thank.

You are "wrong" in one respect.

You wrote two posts....

Subject: bootable USB key

and

Subject: installation issue 2

With the exact same question.  You've done that more than once.  So, the list ends up with 2 threads started by you talking about the same thing.  Not a good way to keep things tidy.

Are you trying to install a separate Fedora on your USB key or something
others?
