Live discs, as distinct from CD
Live discs aren't CDs? I always burned a live image onto a CD and then put that
into a CD/DVD drive. Is there a way to stuff a live disc into a USB slot on a
computer wihout an optical drive? I must have missed that option because I
certainly would have loved to do that.
I installed F17 from the DVD because I had problems with the liveusb-creator
contraption -- at that time, I had a FreeBSD and a Windows computers, and
couldn't get liveusb-creator to create a bootable image from either of these.
Might have been a bug that's fixed now, might have been my fault; I don't know,
frankly.
Live-CD image + unetbootin -> Live-USB
Live USB (or CD) creator is another thing completely, useful but with a serious
learning curve!
I installed F18 from the netinstall image just because I knew that it would just
work and thought it would be easier to simply waste another CD than to mess with
the liveusb-creator thingy once again.
I have to say, though, that I always wondered why Fedora Project doesn't offer
official USB images. It seems a little backward to me -- especially since
installing Fedora is the only thing I've ever used a CD drive for in the past
six months, and I never used those burned CDs more than once.
See above, same image, just write it to the USB.
