I have a slow upload cap so I won't be able to give you the full 700MB 
image, but it's easy to reproduce the content of the USB key:

1. Check out Fedora's livecd-tools from Git [1]
2. Apply to this [2] patch to tools/livecd-iso-to-disk.sh
3. Download the Fedora 10 Snapshot 3 ISO
4. Run tools/livecd-iso-to-disk.sh --mactel --format path/to/iso /dev/sdx

[1] http://git.fedoraproject.org/git/?p=hosted/livecd
[2] http://downloads.diffingo.com/livecd-iso-to-disk.sh-efi.patch

P.S. If there's an easier way to do this (ie if you only need the first 
10ish MB of the key), let me know and I'll send you the sample.

Thanks,
Stewart
