Live USB-stick format

[Anne Wilson]

I want F9 on a USB stick.  It's 8GB, and comes with a few files concerned with 
using it on windows, so I don't really care whether they survive or not.

Most of my hardware is not so young, and doesn't boot off usb sticks.  
However, the EeePC should do - it does from a Mandriva flash drive.  It lists 
the drive, in BIOS, enclosed in [ ] which seems to mean that it is not 
bootable, so I looked at the drive with fdisk.  It says

 Disk /dev/sdc1: 8120MB                                                    
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B                                 
Partition Table: loop  

and that 'The flag 'boot' is not available for loop disk labels'

Obviously I've done something wrong, but what?
