Peter;
That worked.(/dev/sdb)
  did both
Fedora-16-TC-i686-Live-SoaS.iso
Fedora-16-TC2-x86_64-Live-SoaS.iso

Only x86_64 USB had efi boot on My Macbook Pro  i7 using "Option" key
Booted to boot splash screen, but hung after pressing Entert. (Blue 
background and cursor in upper left corner)
refit 14 boot CD only got back to the same screen
message: wipefs: WARNING: /dev/sdb: appears to contain 'gpt' partition 
table  during write of USB
