Hi all,
On a F18, I installed livecd-tools-18.15-1
This sounds like something you should post to the Fedora Users list. The problem probably lies with the F18 application, not with the CentOS ISO image.
Although it sounds like a F18 issue, the under lying issue (IMO) is that it the dd of ISO image to a pen drive device does not work with the RHEL/CentOS installer.
Whereas with other Linux distros like the Debian / openSUSE / Ubuntu it is possible to dd the ISO images on to a pen drive, boot from it and complete the installation [1].
The OP is trying to use a tool which supposedly makes a bootable/installable USB device.
Search keywords "centos create usb boot disk" throws up helpful links. The manual methods may the way to go to achieve the objective.

All of the above essentially say the same thing.
@OP please try the method outlined in above links and report your success/failure.
[1] This is my preferred method, it eliminates need for an optical media and burning the ISO image to a DVD. FWIW, I have dd'd the CentOS ISO image to a pen drive. In the installer, choose one of the 'network' methods (http / ftp / nfs / cifs etc). Also make sure the CentOS DVD content is available over the network via the chosen method (my choice http).
