boot from live usb to rescue mode? (solved)

hi all,
I find this highly embarrassing, but I can't find the answer, so I must ask for your help.

I have a dual boot system and I have killed the mbr, so normally I would boot into rescue mode and use the grub-install command (I have done this several times before).

But my computer is a netbook and has no optical drive. I have installed Fedora when I first got it, using liveusb-creator and a live image of Fedora 10. However, when I boot from this live usb, I have no rescue mode available. I tried adding "linux rescue" to the parameters, but that didn't do anything either.

Can anyone help me?

Thank you so very much! This worked - not right away, but after I had tweaked my grub.conf a little. I'm back on my system, hoooray
