> I stand corrected. 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.
