I am not sure what you are saking. If you want to install Fedora to
a USB drive, and boot off that drive, this have been covered on the
list. I believe you still need to do an expert install to be able to
install to a USB drive, and you have to "tweak" the Grub settings,
but it works well as long as your machine can boot off a USB drive.
(I have a USB drive set up that way here.)

If you are talking about attaching a USB hard drive to a Linux
machine, and transfering data to/from it, that works fine as well.
