To maybe make a suggestion or two that would help in the case of rescue but also directing the newbie to a better more satisfying installation/recovery experience ...
* Put Fedora Media writer on the get Fedora page as the preferred method of getting Fedora with the option to go directly to what you want if you know what you want. * Put the Live USB image as one of the preferred options listed by Media Writer along with the Editions * Put a rescue mode on the Live USB image, where it is logically needed and things are pretty much already there as has been stated by Brian.
