Grub trouble testing Fedora 11 snapshot 1 using liveusb-creator

[Kåre Fiedler Christiansen]

Thank you! That did indeed work, and I am writing this from a Fedora
11 live boot.

I had tried searching for the issue without any succes. I see now that
my searching must have been very poor indeed, since it is actually
mentioned in release notes...

Best,
  Kaare
