I almost forgot , pungi (on buildinstall) also creates boot.iso which
you may able to create usb boot disk , 
mount -o loop /home/sergio/Fedora-10-Beta-x86_64-DVD.iso /mnt/disk/
umount /dev/sdb1
mkfs.vfat /dev/sdb1
cd /mnt/disk/images/
/usr/bin/livecd-iso-to-disk boot.iso /dev/sdb1

mount /dev/sdb1 /media/disk/ 
# verify if you got install.img in images folder
if not 
mkdir /media/disk/images/
cp install.img /media/disk/images/

or burn as a cd/dvd boot disk
