I made some changes to Jasper Hartline's excellent liveusb.sh
script, mostly to make sure that files are taken from repos and
not a (possibly different distro) local installation. Also, my
version inlines the calls to fdisk and grub, and adds default
values for PACKAGES, GROUPLIST, ROOTPATH. I hope this is okay?
These changes were sparked because I am still running FC5 on my
main machine, but want to build an FC6 flashdrive system. (I
also "preserve" the yum cache to take advantage of my local repo,
something you may not want to do in the release version.)
I am continuing to work on improving this script, but you can see
my current version at
ftp://ftp.applios.net/pub/fjb/LiveUSB/liveusb.sh
Any feedback would be appreciated!

Fred,
Thanks for the help. I have created the image file and put it on my
usb device, but I haven't be able to boot it up. I tried 2 different
memory keys(Cruzer mini 1.0 GB, Memorex TravelDrive mini 1.0 GB) on 2
different machines and had no luck. I know I booted from usb on these
before and have the boot order set to be usb device first. I'm not sure
what the problem may be here. Here's how I setup the usb media before
dd'ing the file over:
mke2fs -j /dev/sda
tune2fs -c 0 -i 0 /dev/sda
Let me know if you can offer any help.
Thanks,
Chris.
