Both are possible. The latter requires the livecd-iso-to-disk --format
option, which now defaults to ext4.

Hi Fred,
I have to use all the old stuff as I am in Scientific
Linux 6.5 (RHEL 6.5 clone). Do you know if my version
will support the above?
liveusb-creator-3.12.0-1.el6.noarch
Many thanks,
-T
