The live media spins of Fedora are well over 700MB. A CD can only hold
about 700MB max on special media (about 470MB for standard media), so
no, they're not CD images for most folk.
You can put a live media spin on a USB stick using several methods and
they work fine--assuming your hardware can and will boot a USB stick.
Not all will.
