RFH: Script to make installable USB stick

[Martin Langhoff]

As part of porting the XS to F9 I am moving from using live CDs to
anaconda-based installer CDs. This has a fundamental benefit - that
you can now upgrade from the CD as well as installing - but a
downside: there are not easy tools to turn an installer CD into a
bootble installer USB stick that "just works".

A couple of weeks ago I started an attempt at it, based on
livecd-iso-to-disk. It mostly worked - anaconda did get bootstrapped,
but it failed to find the RPMs directory. I haven't had a change to
look at it further. Help with it would be appreciated (and probably
useful to Fedora users in general).
