we were talking on this list a few weeks back about making live spins 
available in a usb format instead of just an iso and it was said that it 
would incur more work and that because of the script and program 
mentioned in the title there was no need, well it turns out that 
mandriva have made iso's that are both usb and cdr compatible, all 
that's needed to put the iso on usb is a dd command,

dd if=foo.iso of=/dev/usb-diskname bs=8M

is this something that fedora would consider?

i don't know if that this is new info or not, or how they do it but i 
thought it interesting and i think all distros should head this way for 
live releases.
