Having a way to boot Fedora from other media can be useful when Fedora has
issues.

There have been systems configured so they wouldn't boot from USB.   Does
yours have
space for an extra internal drive?  If a friend has a system with a couple
USB ports that will
boot a Fedora Live USB you could put a drive in a USB case and install
Fedora in BIOS
mode, then add the drive to your system.
