DVD Installer on USB...?

[David García Granda]

Hi,

>>  documentation does not work.

Actually it worked for me:
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/13/html/Installation_Guide/Making_USB_Media-UNIX_Linux.html

I didn't success either with the dd command, but going to "3.2.2.1.2.
Making Fedora USB Media with livecd-tools" section in link above did
the trick.

Maybe it's confusing, and it looks like link above mixes things up
when talking about labels, but what it worked for me (pasted from my
bash history):

su -c 'yum -y install livecd-tools'
su -c 'livecd-iso-to-disk --format --reset-mbr
/home/david/Fedora-13-x86_64-DVD.iso /dev/sdc1'

HTH,

David
