Download a live ISO file for Fedora as shown in Section 2.1.3, “Which Files Do I Download?”

Plug in your USB media.

Find the device name for your USB media. If the media has a volume name, look up the name in /dev/disk/by-label, or use the findfs:

su -c 'findfs LABEL="MyLabel"'

If the media does not have a volume name, or you do not know it, consult the /var/log/messages log for details:

su -c 'less /var/log/messages'

Many Linux distributions automatically mount USB media devices when you connect the device to your computer. If this is the case, unmount the device. The specific method to do this varies widely between Linux distributions and desktops. Some common methods include:

At a command line, type su - to become root, and enter the root password when your system prompts you.

Create a mount point for the live image that you downloaded. For example, to use /tmp/livecd as the mount point, type mkdir /tmp/livecd and press Enter.

Mount the live image with the following command: mount -o loop /path/to/image/file/imagefile.iso /path/to/mount/point, where /path/to/image/file is the location of the image file that you downloaded, imagefile.iso is the image file, and /path/to/mount/point is the mount point that you just created.

Change directory to the LiveOS directory of the image that you just mounted. mount point where you just mounted the Fedora live image. For example, cd /tmp/livecd/LiveOS.

Run the following command: ./livecd-iso-to-disk /path/to/image/file/imagefile.iso device, where /path/to/image/file is the location of the image file that you downloaded, imagefile.iso is the image file, and device is the USB media device.
