tried making a liveUSB, without luck, used "fedora liveUSB creator". it just fails halfway through, giving me this error...
[gui:343] Device is not yet mounted, so we cannot determine the amount of free space. Setting a maximum limit of 8G for the persistent storage.
maybe someone else has had more luck than me]]>Apr 22nd 2009 6:18AM
