Fedora 10 provides a USB disk image, which can just be DD'd onto a blank key.
With the rapid rise in the numbers of compact netbooks with no optical media readers included, perhaps this makes more sense, most machines now will boot from a usb key. while there are tools like unetbootin that can create an image from an iso, they are a pain to use.
