AN IDEA
A Live USB Creating USB
 for netbooks without a CD/DVD drive:

Format a 8GB or 16Gb USB with 2 partitions.
    (gparted (Partition Manager) does this well)
4GB: /dev/sdb1 fat 16; Label=FEDORA; boot flag set
4GB or larger :/dev/sdb2 fat 32; Label=My Files

Insert this 2 partition USB in your fedora desktop and start liveusb-creator
select:
Fedora-14-i686-Live-SoaS.iso Located on you Desktop
set slider to 1200 persistence
select /sdb1 Fedora USB
Create Live USB
Remove and insert this USB in your desktop and copy your soas live.iso's 
to the My Files USB (/dev/sd2) mounted on your desktop
(this 2nd partition 4GB will hold at least 4 different live USB.iso's)

 >It will also accept any other Data or files you want to store.

remove USB ( eject both MY Files and Fedora USB's)

Boot with the 2 partition Live USB
yum install liveusb-creator
start live usb creator on USB

[BROWSE] /Computer/media//My Files/ xxxx.iso (open)
[Target Device]select the target USB you inserted
set [Persistence Storage] by moving slider
[Create Live USB]

*This 2 partition USB is a Portable Live USB Creator you can carry in 
your pocket*
