No indication what application to use to create usb startup disks

[SoloTurn]

the ubuntu release notes say ". Now, a simple application in Ubuntu will allow users to write Ubuntu to a USB drive" ... and if you click on download or install, or look in your upgraded ubuntu - there is no hint what it could be.

if you are knowledgeable enough, of course you could launch the package manager and type usb. and then choose the 2-star rated " Create an USB startup disk" and hope its that you guys mean on your website. but creating a link to the application, and then launch the package manager with an installation would have been nicer.

If you look under 'System/Administration' it's the second one from the top.

The application is called usb-creator and it is installed by default for the Ubuntu and Edubuntu distributions. It is called 'Create a USB startup disk' and appears in System -> Administration.

I'm closing the Ubuntu bug and opening a bug for the Ubuntu Website project.

As this is a press release that you have linked from, I don't believe it was designed to give that type of information. A wiki search would have produced this information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - Marking invalid due to this being a press release.
