I am uploading a 2GB USB img file and accompanying txt file for this 
f13-installer-2GB-USB

http://people.sugarlabs.org/Tgillard/f13-installer-2GB-USB.img.tar.gz

There is also a screenshot of my EeePC900 running it with 3 USB sticks
1-Boot USB
2-1GB USB with soas-i386-20100329.19.iso
3-2GB Target USB (FEDORA)
http://people.sugarlabs.org/Tgillard/f13-Installer-USB2.JPG

ETA about 2+ hrs

This Live USB boots up using latest Nightly Composes soas-i386-20100329.19
f13 liveusb-creator is installed - start it from sugar-terminal: 
"liveusb-creator"
gedit also installed.

I fixed the IRC application so that it starts (see below)

Applications installed are:
IRC-5.xo
Browse 114
Turtle Art 83
log 23
Physics 4
Terminal 31

It connects to local network and sees my XO-1 in network neighborhood 
(apple airport extreme-bridged)
Jabber is not available to test

(I have used it to make strawberry**, blueberry, and Nightly composes 
v3? .isos)
**you can also use "liveusb-creator --reset-mbr" command from terminal 
to start it.

NOTES:
*-)This is used with Booted Installer USB

the live.iso image you want to use MUST NOT BE DOWNLOADED FROM RIGHT 
DROP-DOWN BOX
use a USB external DVD/CD or load the live.iso on a 2nd USB stick

 >If you try download the USB will fill up and be ruined.<

*-)The Target USB can be seen by inserting and removing the USB and 
watching the box on the graphical Liveusb-creator window.
You will see it appear when it mounts.
*-Use a fat16 formatted USB with the boot flag set and labelled FEDORA

This is quite an easy way to make LiveUSB sticks....
