Bug Description
1. Insert new usb key
2. use startup disk creator (usb-creator-gtk) with an ubuntu .iso. I used lubuntu alternate 12.04 i386.
3. test the bootable USB on a computer -- run "check this cd for errors"
4. USB drive fails, where the .iso passed checksum, and cd's burned pass verification
the file name it fails on (tested with multiple usb keys and computers) is pxelinux.
Attempt to copy the file to the USB, and you will find that fat32 (which usb-creator requires) does not support symlinks.
Thus, verification of bootable usb fails.
