Have a look at "makebootfat". Something like this maybe (some details and options skipped for clarity) dd if=/dev/zero of=imagefile loopdevice=$(losetup --show -f imagefile) makebootfat <cryptic options> $loopdevice and then give the "$loopdevice" target to livecd-iso-to-disk. If you change your mind and want to mount some partition instead of the whole imagefile: losetup -d $loopdevice loopdevice=$(losetup --show -f -o $partitionoffset $imagefile) -- Fedora-livecd-list mailing list Fedora-livecd-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-livecd-list
