New liveusb-creator release!
So I've gotten some pretty inspiring feedback from various users of the
liveusb-creator recently, so I decided to put some cycles into it this weekend and
crank out another release.

Would it be possible to make liveUSB installer? In the age of (driveles) netbooks installing Fedora form installation media is quite cumbersome. I would really appreciate this feature.
