Hi
Iam a RedHat/Fedora old-timer and wish to thank the Fedora team for the official Live CD *gift* (ya, the zod wallpaper made that explicit;). With a gamut of live CDs around, this one helps me feel at home again.
I have been looking for Live USB efforts off fedora and came across these: https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-livecd-list/2006-December/msg00033.ht... and some notes at wish-list page inside official liveCD site (but couldn't locate it again).
However since my requirement was slightly different*, i ended up creating a GUI install script based on tweaked initramdisk etc while retaining core/rootfs packaging power of a fedora LiveCD(-creator etc). In essence its just a liveCD to liveUSB install script in a package.
I put it here for now: http://noor.mubeen.googlepages.com/liveUSBfy.tgz
*from liveUSBfy/README ------8><------- - It lets users experience the liveCD first; then by using this package the liveCD experience can be installed on USB stick.
- Re-uses Fedora's mature init ramdisk/udev capability which help in optimized wait time for USB detection during mounting USB root.
- It depends on robust livecd-creator etc tools to customize/base most of core contents including rootfs packaging.
- Allows developers to customize the live USB to specific requirement by simply tweaking-in sections of install script. ------8><-------
I'd be glad to take comments/feedback.
Disclaimer: It has been tested by just 1 (rather two) "eye-balls". There could be untested scenario lurking. Use it with own discretion.
Thanks again Noor

There was error w.r.t. grub installation part of script. In case this was downloaded, replace "${device}" in liveUSBfy.sh line 138, with "/dev/${device}. I have not updated above link yet .
