" the yellow triangles signify either that the partition doesn't have
enough free space to do the install, or (I think) that it doesn't have a
compatible filesystem (presumably FAT16/FAT32) "

1)  It could also mean that the partition is currently mounted (but we
don't know because these messages are not passed to the user via
notification or tooltip.

2) From looking at other usb-creator bugs, I would say that FAT16 causes
issues and FAT32 should be the only supported filesystem format for
bootable USB disks created with this utility.

@Daniel, regarding "I'd like to be able to install the live system onto one 
partition"
Are you currently able to make a disk with two FAT32 partitions (say sdb1 and 
sdb2) and install ubuntu onto sdb2 using usb-creator?


Note: I will soon try to break apart this cluster-bug into the multiple "one 
subject" bugs that deal with each issue individually.
