So it turned into more of an all-day mission, but we made a couple of
minor improvements to luc, and I extensively updated the USB
instructions (again):

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_create_and_use_Live_USB
https://fedoraproject.org/w/index.php?title=How_to_create_and_use_Live_USB&diff=368712&oldid=368666

I wrote up easy 'direct write' methods for Windows and GNOME (I'll look
at adding a generic 'Linux' one for other desktops tomorrow if I can
find a widely-available GUI tool), made the page consistently promote
'direct write' methods as the most reliable and recommended unless you
actually need non-destructive writes and data persistence and stuff, and
just generally cleaned up a lot of of stuff. Let me know if you see
anything wrong.
