[plug] boot from stick

[Kev]

Replying to my own post - the app is called usb-creator-gtk and is a 
standard app in Ubuntu.  It works a-treat!  As for Mint 8, main edition, 
it fits onto a 700MB CD-R fine.  You might have a corrupt .ISO or as 
previously suggested, you're using a CD-R with some data already on it.

cheers
Kev
