USB Install Method?



Back in the mists of time, there used to be a "diskimage.img" in the
distribution that you could "dd" to a USB stick and boot the installer
of Fedora. Then you could install via the network or whatever.

The README in images on the x86_64 DVD ISO references diskimage.img, but
the file is AWOL on the image.

According the docs, there is a procedure for installing from a USB
stick, but "Procedure 3.2 Creating Bootable USB Media from Linux"
appears to be blank?

http://docs.fedoraproject.org/install-guide/f9/en_US/sn-making-media.html#id543953

Is there still a USB installable method for those of us with a DVD?
