Bootable Live CD from bootable Flash

Hi, I am working with my linux guy at work (because I am NOT a Linux guy) on creating a custom bootable live CD from Fedora. He gave me a Flash Drive version and CD version. the Flash version works great, but the CD version fails "no root device found" and something about sleeping forever...

so beyond having him work through the issues that he is having when creating the CD image, is there any way of capturing the image of the flash drive, since it works perfectly, and creating a CD version of it?

I guess the gist of my question is can I (easily) make a bootable CD from an existing bootable flash drive?

I see many things online about the opposite (creating a bootable flash drive from an existing bootable CD image) but not the reverse, which is what I want.

thanks

Re: Bootable Live CD from bootable Flash

There is no difference between a CD image and an USB image in Fedora. If you go to the download page, you will find that these are the same images. So, you can download one image (iso file) and copy it either to CD or to USB or both.
