Hi Folks,

I got Fedora 16 running on a USB drive (I tried updating my desktop that
has Fedora 10 to 16 but it kept giving me a device driver error). I
followed the steps on the wiki and everything seems to be ok but I'm
running into trouble when I tried to execute the USB installer. Can
somebody please add to the wiki what files should I expect on my USB drive
after the installer is done? I only got two folders: images and syslinux )
This is for a usb drive that was formatted to VFAT:
