Why not just use the KISS principle.  usb-creator-gtk or usb-creator-kde work a-treat!

Yep http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/

Make multi-linux bootable from USB and the windows version is easier to use. It will even download the iso for you.

Hi Orm,

The CD i have is short on space to burn LinuxMint-8. Can i extract Mint-8 to

a USB stick, then boot from the stick instead of from a CD?

    




In short yes - You have to make sure you write the master boot record

into the first 512 byte  of your USB stick (boot sector) and then make

sure your BIOS supports booting off USB.There are very many guides on

the net to help you with that.
