Hi,

there's the Fedora LiveUSB Creator tool, you could give that a shot.
It's hosted on [1] and you can get pre-built packages from [2].
If you want the flash drives to still be write-able, don't use the  
destructive mode and make sure the flash drives are FAT32 formatted.
Feel free to ask anything (even directly) or report any issues/enhancement  
requests.

Cheers,
Martin
