Still no luck. When I do: ./unetbootin-linux-344 I get:
./unetbootin-linux-344: error while loading shared libraries:
libpng12.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I looked for libpng in Synaptic and I find: libpng12-0 is installed.
I looked for libpng12.so.0, Synaptic can't find it.
So I tried the debian version unetbootin_323-1_amd64 using: dpkg -i and I
get:
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of unetbootin:
unetbootin depends on libqt4-network (>= 4.5.1); however:
Version of libqt4-network on system is 4.4.3-1.
unetbootin depends on libqtcore4 (>= 4.5.1); however:

unetbootin depends on libqtgui4 (>= 4.5.1); however:

dpkg: error processing unetbootin (--install):

I am using debian lenny 5.01 amd64. I have a full set of repositories,
including contrib and non-free, but they don't seem to have the latest
version of the above dependencies. I don't want to go to squeeze or sid
because the last time I did that I ended up with KDE4 and it was too buggy
for me.
I'll keep at it and let you know.
Thanks for the help.
Phil

With Unetbootin, I downloaded it to my desktop and was unable to get it to
do anything. I'd click on it and nothing would happen. I tried to open it
with Archive Manager and got: Could not open "unetbootin-linux-344"
Archive
type not supported. I suppose this is because it is a "bin" file, but I
don't know enough about "bin".
unetbootin-linux-344 is an executable file, not any kind of archive.
It must be run with root privilege.
This is probably a job for command-line rather than GUI. I can coach
you through the command-line procedure.
Open a terminal window.
$ cd ~/Desktop
$ ls -l unetbootin* # you should get something like this, with of course
# a different user name and release number.
-rwxrwxr-x 1 cdl cdl 3801972 May 17 21:06 unetbootin-linux-323
# if it is not executable (rwxrwxr-x) make it so
$ chmod +x unetbootin*
# now run the program as root
$ sudo ./unetbootin*
# you will be asked for your password
# and unetbootin will do its thing.
