Fedora Live USB Creator


live_usb_creatorFedora Linux is a popular Linux distribution. It can be installed on a computer system or started from a Live CD or USB stick. The Fedora Live USB Creator aids users in the creation of the Fedora operating system on an USB stick.

The tool will setup Fedora on the USB stick giving the user the option to either select an already present Fedora distribution on the local computer system or to download one of the available Fedora distributions from the Internet. Available distributions include the latest Fedora 11 Beta, Fedora 10 and 9 as well as Sugar On A Stick. The Fedora 11, 10 and 9 editions can be installed as both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.

Sugar On A Stick has been designed to give children access to a computer system. The downloads can take a while depending on the connection speed of the local computer system and the selected Fedora distribution. Another interesting option is the allocation of persistent storage on the USB device which can later be used to store data on the USB device itself.

The tool will automatically detect connected USB devices that are suitable for installation. The Fedora Live USB Creator is available for both the Linux and Windows operating system. Jack posted an interesting article a while ago about Linux Live CDs that is a good read for users starting to discover Linux.

    While Fedora is very easy to install, it is too “bleeding edge” for unexperienced Linux users in my opinion. I prefer to install Ubuntu for new users:

    Note that the new version comes out at the end of April. I would suggest waiting until then, and using a version of Ubuntu with the KDE desktop, called Kubuntu. You can get it here:

    KDE is awful, stick with GNOME or Xfce.

    Fedora live usb is THE EASIEST linux I’ve ever installed. It doesn’t do some of the graphical things right, but the terminal works great. If this is a problem for you then linux will be a problem for you.

    This is the premier version of linux to use as a rescue tool. If you want a full version then install a full version. This is the best purpose focused tool I’ve seen in some time.

    I’ve managed to get this onto a 1GB USB drive, but I can’t get it to recognise my wireless connection (a Belkin USB device). Shouldn’t Fedora 11 do this automatically? If not, what’s the procedure for getting Fedora connected to wireless?
