And I also tried it on the most recent ISO as of yesterday with no issues. I'm curious why there seems to be so much difference in opinion on this. Maybe certain hardware doesn't work with this method? I'm just guessing here as I can't seem to reproduce the problem. As for your issue Joseph, have you tried using a tool like unetbootin? It would certainly simplify the process for you. I am a CLI purist at heart, but there comes a point where I would rather just get something done than stick to my ideals. -- Will Tomlinson
