The kernel used in the FC3 installer is the same as the one that the
resulting installed system uses, and it does support USB. What doesn't

Or you could connect up a drive using an IDE cable, install on to it and
then put the drive in an external USB enclosure. You can then follow the
instructions at http://www.simonf.com/usb/ to get it booting.
