it only does ubuntu apparently.  Similarly, the Fedora usb-creator only does
Fedoras.  In fact, I found someone complaining that he could not use it on
Fedora 10 to create a LiveUSB from a Fedora 11 .iso and it turned out that
was because 11 needed a newer syslinux.

OTOH, unetbootin ( http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ ) will create many
different flavors and is available for both linux and windows.  I installed
it in Jaunty right from the regular repositories.

Or you might prefer FUSBi ( http://www.aligunduz.org/FUSBi/ ) which is a
unetbootin derivative which only does FSF approved free software only
distributions.
