Hi,

I used to have a weird behavior, with Fedora live install, on some
machines (Slightly old Dell for example) on USB stick, if I generate it
with the fedora tool I can't see any space on the Disk. On the same
laptop if I generate the live USB stick with Lili it works perfectly. I
don't know what is the issue but I usually have to play with this two
softwares to generate Fedora USB keys.

Best regards,
Alexis.
