2008-11-13 12:40:43 Tuomas Aavikko description Binary package hint: usb-creator Like the title says, Unable to create other than *buntu-*.iso to usb. When trying to load , ex. zenwalk-5.2.iso /zenwalk-live-5.2.iso error appears that "This is not a desktop install CD and thus cannot be used by this application." Thought it might be issue in name, so tried changing the name, but no avail Shouldn't default application in Ubuntu be able to create other than just *buntu images? Tried several other distros, using this tool, and all of them failed with error above. Binary package hint: usb-creator Like the title says, Unable to create other than *buntu-*.iso to usb.

Edit// I'm aware that "Description: Ubuntu USB desktop image creator This is a simple utility designed to make bootable USB desktop images from Ubuntu CDs." But restricting usage to only *buntu images, in this wonderful app, IMO contradicts bug #1 If that was the correct word for it :)
