    I have been messing with this for several hours now, actually since
    yesterday, and can't seem to install livecd on a thumb drive. In
    desperation I re-formatted it ext3. That didn't help. I can cp and
    delete normal files but liveusb-creator is never happy with it?

    [root at box9 ~]# mount
    shows:
    /dev/sdc1 on /mnt/Fedora type ext3 (rw)

    But when I click on "Create Live USB" it displays the following:

    Fedora-12-i686-Live.iso selected

    Verifying filesystem...

    Unknown filesystem for %s. Your device may need to be reformatted.

    LiveUSB creation failed!

    Unknown filesystem for %s. Your device may need to be reformatted.


    Reformatted? I believe it's supposed to work with ext3. It was FAT
    originally and that produced the same error!

    What am I doing wrong?

    This is not critical, I could use a CD, But I've put a lot of time
    into this and hate to give up.

    Bob.
