It appears to have written 4+ GB to the thumb drive, it remains to be seen
if it will run.
Again, /run/media/bobg/4C60-B824 is not the block device.
If it were a directory, you'd get an error immediately:
dd: failed to open '/run/media/bobg/4C60-B824': Is a directory
But, you didn't get that error, you just ran out of space, which makes
me think that perhaps you didn't write to anything but a file in
/run.
Please write to the block device. It probably looks like something
like /dev/sdc, /dev/sdd, etc. Be sure you are writing to the flash
drive and not, say, the disk where your OS lives.
I suggest installing the 'mediawriter' package, which has the Fedora
Media Writer application in it. It will guide you through installing
the image to the flash drive. There's a version for Windows and macOS
too.
