Ah, I see - you'd have to update the USB or DVD all the time, because 
new updates are released daily. Wouldn't a better idea be to boot with a 
minimal install CD and point the installation at both the release and 
updates repositories?

This implies you can choose 'install via URL' and give it
http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/updates/16/$basearch/

Then it will install any applicable updates. I haven't tried this, but 
it looks like it should work.
