Hi Christian, I gave it a shot:
dd if=/home/ole/generated.iso of=/dev/sdb It did put the generated.iso contents on the drive (And nuke everything else), but the drive does not boot. I checked that the bootable flag was set using fdisk. It was worth the shot. At this point I'll probably just use the fedora liveusb to get the box running and then try koan do to a reinstall with the correct profile.
