			* Recommended overlay and home sizes -
			Execute the Linux command line: /livecd-iso-to-disk --reset-mbr --overlay-size-mb '''500''' --home-size-mb '''900''' --delete-home --unencrypted-

			- Shouldn't these sizes be bigger for 4 GB and 8GB USB sticks?

			OK,

			To prevent it name the sticks Fedora prior to putting the image on them. (This step should be added to the online instructions.)

			Now, if you did not change the name and need to modify the syslinux.cfg, change the following lines: (you will have a different UUID#)

			append initrd=initrd0.img root=live:UUID=3D4E-8E71 rootfstype=vfat rw liveimg overlay=UUID=3D4E-8E71 quiet rhgb rd_NO_LUKS rd_NO_MD

			append initrd=initrd0.img root=live:UUID=3D4E-8E71 rootfstype=vfat rw liveimg overlay=UUID=3D4E-8E71 quiet rhgb check

			to

			append initrd=initrd0.img root=LABEL=FEDORA rootfstype=vfat rw liveimg overlay=LABEL=FEDORA quiet rhgb rd_NO_LUKS rd_NO_MD

			append initrd=initrd0.img root=LABEL=FEDORA rootfstype=vfat rw liveimg overlay=LABEL=FEDORA quiet rhgb check

			I tested this fix and it works.

			I haven't got it to boot yet, and maybe my lack of computing experience will help improve the instructions for non-sysadmins.
			a) may be worth clarifying that burning a .iso is not just putting a data file on a disk but 'burn compilation' or somesuch.
			b)'file manager properties' - don't see that with Windows 2000. Using 'rename' seems to have problems; put it in another computer and the name did not show as FEDORA, though that was the 'label'.
			c) let the computer reboot from the CD; ain't got that far yet.

			Still to work out what I am doing wrong, but the instructions and context here are for linux hackers and geeks; a long way to go before it looks like an education project, I am afraid.
