One of the X11 sustaining engineers found how easy it is to make a LiveUSB
image of Fedora and asked if we'd had any thoughts about doing this to
make OpenSolaris USB sticks - has anyone thought about this? Maybe we
could just use the Fedora code with some simple changes?

LiveUSB creator for fedora
<http://blogs.sun.com/uejio/entry/liveusb_creator_for_fedora>
<http://fedorahosted.org/liveusb-creator>I needed to install Linux to
reproduce a bug remotely displaying apps from Linux to Solaris and found
a very easy to use Windows executable to create a Fedora Live USB. You
can get it from: http://fedorahosted.org/liveusb-creator
The application lets you choose from a couple of different Fedora
releases to download and it downloads and creates the USB all in one
step. If the USB create fails for some reason, it doesn't have to
download the image again and it lets you continue on after correcting
the error. In my case, my flash drive was not FAT formatted, so after
correcting that and refreshing the target device in their GUI, I
continued with the USB creation. The liveUSB booted fine on my Acer
3400. Now, why can't creating an OpenSolaris liveUSB be that easy?
