Just recently I had to boot from USB to install onto a laptop with no optical drive. I found four different methods of putting a Linux installer onto a USB. One of them involved Windows, so that was out. Two of them were Linux programs for writing installers to the flash drive. One required adding things to a current install that I didn't want to do. The other was less painful, and worked for writing one installer to a USB, but not for another (I tried Fedora and Ubuntu on this laptop). The last was plain dd if=/install.iso of=/def/flashdrive (I'm paraphrasing), and that worked for the one that didn't work the other way.
If you haven't already, you may want to take a look at unetbootin. Unlike Fedora's Live USB Creator it doesn't care what distribution you're putting on the drive.
