John --- for fixing systems that are borked or preping for offsite installs
is how  I took it ...

Thomas --- parted OR gnome-disks (both to my knowledge are on ALL Fedora
lives can do a reformat of a dd'd usb or other drive for that matter...

mkfs.ext4 (or w/e) /dev/sdX (must be unmounted ofc)

parted  /dev/sdX

set 1 boot on (makes part 1 or sdx in case of no follow on parts) bootable
as a gparted (manage flags operation would do )
