[xubuntu-users] OT: better bootable thumb drive creator than unetbootin?

[Frode Lindeijer]

I've been using usb-creator-gtk for quite a while now. Worked fine for every distribution in the Ubuntu family as far as I tried. I think it used to come with Ubuntu by default.

	sudo apt-get install usb-creator-gtk

I use usb-imagewriter. It works pretty much every time. I never got any other program (besides using dd directly) to work. The Windows version is called Win32DiskImager (or at least I think it is the same).

For some reason it was dropped from the Ubuntu repos, but the old debs still work.

 You can also try multisystem, which allows you to add a few images to the same boot USB:

Hi,

Okay OT but someone here must know. I've never been able to create a bootable thumb drive from iso using unetbootin. Specifically, I need to make a dban thumb drive to wipe a netbook (no cd drive). unetbootin gives me a menu of scripts on bootup. This menu is useless. Seems that a lot of the thumb drive creation software is written as windows software for windows users who want to create a bootable linux distro iso. That doesn't help me. Better ideas?

Thanks
Jordan
