This got filed relatively recently and fixed up. For F9-based images, though, you'll have to do a workaround of removing the /etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev-default.rules.rpm* (or at least, move

out of the way)
I thought I was almost there. I gave it an overlay of 6533 MB, got

booted and running on the EeePC, then started the big update. Unfortunately that took so long that the battery ran out while I was away from it. There could be packages still in the cache to be installed, but

can't move about at all. I have a bash prompt but it doesn't recognise basic bash commands such as cd and mv.
It's clear from the warning message I got that I do need to do the workaround mentioned above.
Any advice on how to proceed?
I now have the exact messages in front of me:
usb 2-1: device not accepting address 2, error -71 sd 2:0:0:0: [sdb] Assuming drive cache: write through sd 2:0:0:0: [sdb] Assuming drive cache: write through /init: line 478: /sysroot/etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev*: ambiguous redirect Bug in initramfs /init detected. Dropping to a shell. Good luck!
(by which I guess it means I'll need it :-) )
The prompt says bash-3.2#
and doesn't recognise commands.

Go into /etc/udev/rules.d/ and delete the extra file with the rpmsave or rpmnew.

I can't Richard. It doesn't recognise any commands, and the file system isn't accessible if I boot from the hard drive.

You'll have to rezero your overlay file and start over then... You can do it manually from a windows or linux box but the dd command is a little different for each. On a linux box it's something like:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/mount/path/LiveOS/overlay-{LABEL}-{UUID} bs=1M count={size of overlay in MB}
Or on windows (the dd.exe is located under tools in the liveusb-creator directory)
dd.exe if=/dev/zero of={drive letter}:\LiveOS\overlay-{LABEL}-{UUID} bs=1M count={size of overlay in MB}
Just look at the current name of your overlay file and overwrite it rather than looking up the LABEL and UUID.
I, like others, have created an extra entry in my syslinx.cfg without the overlay option just in case I hose my overlay file and still want to be able to use it.
