    I used the following after looking at /dev and trying one that 
didn't work.

karl at karl-hardy:~/Desktop$ dd if=/dev/cdrom of=ubuntu-8.10-i386.iso bs=4k

and that I could see was working because the CD was running. It made the 
file and I used the file with unetbootin and put the file on my 1 GB 
stick. Then I tried the stick on my laptop and it worked just great. I 
had to choose Default.

    So many thanks. I had forgot dd and should not have done so.

Karl
