The only advice I have for using it is to wipe your USB stick completely. I
had a USB stick that I was using to boot ubuntu distros from that I created
with the ubuntu USB Startup Disk creator. Unfortunately that tool doesn't
work for non-ubuntu distros terribly well and in trying to get eb4 to boot I
used unetbootin. That led to interesting problems that took me a while to
figure out. Anyway, my advice is to wipe the usb disk before setting up
unetbootin on it as it doesn't seem it can deal with all oddities.
