Fedora 17 custom thumbdrive step-by-step

I've updated my step-by-step for creating a Fedora 17 thumbdrive image. It's available here, or at Google+, here.

How does this relate to the method at fedora hosted page? (mkusbimage? )

Do you have a link to the page you are asking about?

Sorry, I was speaking about liveusbcreator.

The procedure I document is for creating a custom image. LiveUSB-creator takes an image and writes it to the flash drive. This replaces the last step of my step-by-step (the dd command) with a GUI operation that gives you the option of persistent storage. Whether you use dd or LiveUSB-creator to write the image is your choice.

I have made remixes in the past, but for dvds only.

I think you should add more
1. links to the article: incl http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Classr...g_Fedora_Remix
2. links for kick start files
(Of course they are in the fedora wiki, but most new users will find it difficult to search).
Do add that liveusbcreator cannot make images.

On the whole a GUI way would be interesting as it would not be easy to design.
