USB Install Method?

[Sean Bruno]

Back in the mists of time, there used to be a diskimage.img in the
distribution that you could dd to a USB stick and boot the installer
of Fedora.  Then you could install via the network or whatever.

The README in images on the x86_64 DVD ISO references diskimage.img, but
the file is AWOL on the image.

According the docs, there is a procedure for installing from a USB
stick, but Procedure 3.2 Creating Bootable USB Media from Linux
appears to be blank?

http://docs.fedoraproject.org/install-guide/f9/en_US/sn-making-media.html#id543953

Is there still a USB installable method for those of us with a DVD?

 The headings are screwed up. The Windows instructions are in the first
 section, followed by the Linux instructions under the heading Procedure
 3.1: Creating Bootable USB Media with Windows. The section entitled
 Procedure 3.2. Creating Bootable USB Media with Linux is blank.

Ok, so using the information from Patrick I was able to use
livecd-iso-to-disk to turn the boot.iso file into a bootable USB
stick.

However, livecd-iso-to-disk requires a vfat or ext2-3 f/s.  Do I had to
run mkfs on the thumb drive first.
