Tried to create a USB install --

I can mount the USB stick, but get an error when attempting to install to it.

 Error creating DOS filesystem.

Any ideas?  I'm kind of at a loss.....

Thanks for any help.

I had the same problem and I solved it removing
4 default partitions on my stick.

Here's what I did on Debian/GNU Linux:

# fdisk /dev/sda
command (m for help): d
partition number (1-4): 4
command (m for help): d
partition number (1-4): 3
command (m for help): d
partition number (1-4): 2
command (m for help): d
selected partition 1
command (m for help): n
Command action
     e extended
     p primary partition (1-4)  (choose this one)
Partition number (1-4): 1
First Cylinder (1-1024, default 1):
Using default value 1
Last cylinder or +size or + sizeM or
+1sizeK (1-1024, default 1024):
Using default value 1024
command (m for help): w
The partitiontable has been altered!
calling ioctl( ) to re-read partitiontable
Syncing disks.

mkfs -t vfat /dev/sda1

Hope it helps.
