</div>Have you tried Unetbootin? (<a href="http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/" target="_blank">http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/</a>)<br>
<br>
I used this to create a bootable thumbdrive to install Ubuntu to my<br>
laptop. It was quick and easy.</blockquote><div><br>I tried unetbootin before and even wrote a plugin for it, but seems to only support LIVE media ISOs and not standard installer images.<br><br>I just copy the .ISO to Flash dev, extract the isolinux folder, convert to syslinux namespace and install syslinux to the device. ( very script-able )<br>
A lot of tools seem to format and image the device which wastes space and destroys data. I can have several ISOs on a device and boot any one by running it's isolinux(syslinux) bootloader.<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
