Author FC3 Installation onto USB stick

Hi,

how can I tell the installation program Anaconda that I want to install
the FC3 onto an USB stick? The only device the partioner displays is the
/dev/hda1, which must not be touched.

What I'm missing is something like /dev/uba1 or /dev/sda1 representing
the USB stick.

An other thing I'm missing is a shell in one of the text consoles, while
Anaconda is running.

I believe Fedora presents USB media as SCSI, so look for /dev/sda1
or somesuch.

Caveat: this is purely from memory, not experience.

Tschuss.

May be after installation but not during installation. And if it does
then at least the partitioning application does not display that device,
so I can't format and partition it for installation.
