I did this just a couple of days ago with a 1 GB Data Traveller stick.
I'll make this quick:
1. With fdisk
1. delete any existing partitions on the stick.
2. create a new partition.
3. mark the new partition bootable.
4. write your changes.
2. create a ext3 file system on the stick's new partition.
3. run the live to usb tool.
I know I missed all the details, but the steps above should be enough to
get your stick running with Fedora 9.
HTH,
