Yes I have. However, as I was installing from a Debian Lenny based system. Most of these were not applicable to me. The only options available to me were to either use unetbootin, or to use the livecd-iso-to-disk.sh script.

When I click on the link, it downloads a file called yfRX867I.sh.part and not livecd-iso-to-disk.sh

If I rename the downloaded file to livecd-iso-to-disk.sh and execute the script as suggested in the instructions, the script is unable to run.

This only left the unetbootin option, which gave me the errors described earlier.

It is quite possible, that unetbootin 372-1 cannot be used -- which is what I suspect -- However, that is the only version available to me on Lenny -- and trying to install the squeeze version shifts me over into dependency hell!

Thanks for the thought.

The same thing occurs with SOAS Mirabelle

I am using Unetbootin release 372

I tried modifying syslinux.cfg as suggested in
https://answers.launchpad.net/soas/+question/95622

I modified

the line
append initrd=/ubninit root=live:CDLABEL=Fedora-14-i686-Live-SoaS
rootfstype=auto ro liveimg quiet rhgb rd_NO_LUKS rd_NO_MD rd_NO_DM

to

append initrd=/ubninit root=live:CDLABEL=Fedora-14-i686-Live-SoaS
rootfstype=iso966o ro liveimg quiet rhgb rd_NO_LUKS rd_NO_MD rd_NO_DM
selinux=0

Still produced the error

  ---------
No root device found
Boot has failed, sleeping forever
---------

Suggestions are welcome

I just use Unetbootin to write the latest Mango Lassi ISO on to a 4G USB

I booted onto a Compaq and a Toshiba laptop, and After the initial
splash screens, the boot process stops, and I get the following message

Any ideas as to how to get sugar to boot?
