I've updated my step-by-step instructions for creating a custom bootable thumbdrive for Fedora 16. You can get it here. I usually update it over the life of the release, as needed. A static copy follows:

Fedora 16 LiveCD-Creator Thumbdrive Step-by-step
Author: Mace Moneta
This process creates a custom bootable thumbdrive with the latest available Fedora 16 software. In addition, the rpmfusion repositories are preconfigured, and the list of software packages on the currently running system is used as the basis for the thumbdrive image.
As root, perform the following:
• Start by cleaning up problems on the system, reported by:
Since the package list will be created from the running system, problems here will be problems in the creation of the image. If there are known issues, you will need to manually adjust the package list in thumbdrive.ks that gets created below. If you have installed a non-repository package, for example HandBrake-gui, you will need to remove HandBrake-gui from the list of packages in thumbdrive.ks.
• Create a working directory structure and change to it:
mkdir -p thumbdrive/livecd/cache
cd thumbdrive
• vi thumbdrive.ks and add the following. Modify options as you see fit:
You can edit thumbdrive.ks and remove any packages you don't want. For example, I typically remove large games and their data files (alienarena, tremulous, etc). Also, any packages that you added that are not in repositories (see the package-cleanup, above) should be removed or additional 'repo' entries should be added.
