[ale] Using LiveUSB for Fedora

[Michael Trausch]

I would *highly* recommend the Lacie Iamakey drive, it is made to last and
actually won't break off of a keychain. It is the only drive I have had on
my keychain that has lasted more than two weeks.  I have had mine for almost
a year.

I have the 4 GB version, but they offer them up to 32GB if memory serves me.
For a live system I would go at least 8 GB, 1 partition, with a swap file
instead of a swap partition.
