Some of the things I do maybe superstition, but here is it. − − === Preparation: === − − # Download and install version 3.6.5 live usb creator for XP − # Download the iso snapshot you want to create - You only have to download it once. − − === For Each Stick === − # Insert a 1 or 2 GB Stick − # Delete files so that you have 700 MiB or more of space available. − #: (This step is not needed, but may help if other methods don't work) Format it using FAT. If it has anything on it it will be completely erased so you can reuse sticks. − #: See [[olpc:How to Damage a FLASH Storage Device]] before formatting. The 'Stick' probably came with a FAT file system that the Fedora LiveUSB Creator will use. You can even leave some of your files on the drive. You may want to try using the native drive formatting to see if it works before reformatting the drive. − # Name the volume FEDORA (The File Manager's properties, General tab panel will let you rename a volume.) − # Open the live USB creator − # Click Browse and find your snapshot − # Move the slider for persistent storage but don't use absolutely everything on the stick. These days I use about 500 MB for a 1 GB Stick − # Burn the stick. It takes about 15 minutes or so for me − # Close the live USB creator − # Eject the stick − # Create a boot-helper CD that matches your snapshot (I use my mac for that, but I've never heard of problems so any way of creating a LiveCD should work)
