Testing 05/01/2011 in f17 Gnome3 install to HD:

livecd-iso-to-disk --format --reset-mbr Fedora-17-TC2-x86_64-DVD.iso 
/dev/sdb1
Only Boots legacy not EFI. (Contains a EFI folder)?

-GPT USB "LIVE" with Packages subdirectory containing 3343 rpms
-Note: It appears to use the DVD Install repo on USB ONLY IF --reset-mbr 
is used

> Make sure the iso you are using has anaconda-17.23-1 or later.
