Yes, booting from the USB stick.
How do you normally prepare you USB media for install?
# livecd-iso-to-disk --reset-mbr Fedora-12-x86_64-DVD.iso /dev/usbstick
Then I can use the /dev/usbstick device on any computer that can boot from USB (anything in the past 10 years). This method is what has stopped working in F13.
It works fine for me, at least it did with Alpha (last point at which I tested). Quite a lot of the 'live image' testing we do is actually done with USB sticks, it's just easier that way.
Installing from a live image written to a USB stick is certainly expected to work, if you're having trouble with that please do file a bug.
In this case, Michael is testing by writing the DVD iso to a USB device using livecd-iso-to-disk. I've done this procedure with a boot.iso many times in the past. I'll try with a DVD shortly.
Thanks, James
