F18: Create a USB install of CentOS 6 from iso

[Ranjan Maitra]

Hi, 

Not sure this answers your question, but have you tried unetbootin?

Install using yum:

sudo yum unetbootin

and then go

sudo unetbootin

and then choose your iso.

I have found this to be the most worry-free way to doing things.

HTH,
Ranjan
