David;
Great News. Duplication is possible and quite rapid in terminal:

Sucessfully copies the USB stick! this is an exact copy and boot and
runs well.
*Thus one can develop a custom install and then duplicate it.
* the same command can be repeated by pressing arrow cursor up and
hitting return with new stick once the .img file is created.
* I have sucessfully done a [USB4.img.tar.gz] file and then uncompressed
it. So it should be possible to download USB .img files over the net.
I had several failures though.:
(The USB's are slightly different in size sometimes even though same
size and manufacturer)
(Bad elements?)

1-Could a KS file be used in the Fedora11 net install to customize the clone
process?
Yes, I think so.
2-could it be in the Soas3 .iso tied to the already included anaconda?
I don't think so, this afternoon I looked through the contents on the
standard liveusb.iso and did not see a kickstart file. It seems like
the .iso is an image of an install which is just copied over to the
drive for installation.
Sebastian must keep the kickstart somewhere else. I'll ping him and
look for it. I'll let you know if find out where it is.
