USB iso boot, Unetbootin or Ubuntu

One of the first things to do these days with a new distribution ISO is to use it to create a bootable USB memory stick. There are three tools at hand for this. One is a simple script, one is Unetbootin, and the third is the (now) default Ubuntu utility.

The Ubuntu utility encountered a problem when the persistent storage was activated. This is a means to be able to create a live boot device you can use to remember your email message store, settings, and bookmarks. It isn’t needed if you only seek to create a bootable USB device to install systems.

Unetbootin works well and its customized boot routines probably offer some advantages. It is also cross platform and set up to customize bootable devices from common Linux distributions and Windows installation CD’s. It didn’t have any problem with the Remastersys created ISO.

The default Ubuntu utility also didn’t have any problem with the Remastersys created ISO. It makes a convenient means to create a USB device to facilitate new version installs.
