I thought it would do any from a LiveCD .iso file but 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. -- Dazed_75 a.k.a.
