I did not see that synopsis in your original post (and I'm not sure I could figure out what commands you used by that). The only 2 replies to this thread I saw in digest 84 issue 9 were to John Doe.
Anyway, this is what I have in my notes, though I see you've marked this as solved...
mostly assuming sdb as the USB device.
From blank USB stick to bootable install:
yum install livecd-tools syslinux dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb bs=512 count=1000 parted /dev/sdb mklabel msdos parted /dev/sdb mkpartfs p ext2 0% 100% tune2fs -m0 /dev/sdb1
Oh, and sometimes the tune2fs command isn't needed. If I recall, it's needed only if the stick has never been formatted.
parted /dev/sdb toggle 1 boot umount /dev/sdb1 livecd-iso-to-disk <path to>/DVD.iso /dev/sdb1
mkdir /mnt/iso mount -o loop <path to>/DVD.iso /mnt/iso mkdir media<usb stick>/images cp /mnt/iso/images/install.img media<usb stick>images cp <path to>/DVD.iso /media/<usb stick>/
TEST: qemu -m 512 /dev/sdb
I guess I should add yum install qemu to my notes, as I don't think that's installed by default.
But using livecd-iso-to-disk makes it NOT ask for the image file location during the install. Try it.
Personally, I think they should've named it bootable-iso-tools, but everyone's probably used to the livecd-tools name by now.
