I used the Fedora 15 Beta iso from http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/15-Beta.TC1/Fedora/x86_64/iso/ to make a installable usb key using the instructions from here:

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraLiveCD/USBHowTo#How_to_Make_a_bootable_USB_Drive_to_Insta ll_Fedora_instead_of_using_a_physical_DVD

The install will get part way through the packages and then a random package will fail with a "can not open package" error. I tried two installs but both failed (on different packages). The sha256 matched for both the file I downloaded and I also checked the sha256 of the iso file I copied to the usb key ( "Preparing the USB stick" in the wiki instructions) so I think the iso is ok.

My boot.iso is the one for Fedora 15 as obtained from here:
http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/15-Beta.TC1/Fedora/x86_64/os/images/

is there a reason why the USB bootable installation mode will not work with the beta?

F15 beta hasn't been released yet so file a bugreport now before it's late.

Ok, never really did a Fedora bug report before (I think I did a kde one once), so I'm not sure it's any good but here it is:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=693259


UPDATE - I think this is fixed and the update to the filesystem package is version:
filesystem-2.4.40-1.fc15
