Bug Description
This is a wishlist bug. Currently
http://
nicely describes how a user can create Ubuntu installation USB stick using usb-creator. What it does not mention is that you need to be an admin to create the USB stick since /usr/share/
This is unfortunate since it means that users can not create Ubuntu installation USB sticks on computers where they do not have admin privileges (think university class rooms, libraries, work places where people are not given root privileges to their desktops).
Please consider if this could be relaxed to at least to allow local users to create such installation media.
