Hi :) Is there still confusion about this? If so, is there any chance of giving url-links (clickable) to the confusing pages in documentation? Is it documentation or the instructions within the app that are confusing?
The Usb start-up creator can be used on many different types of media making it so that they boot up to a "Live Cd/Usb" type session. I'm fairly sure you could use it to install to a partition on a hard drive. I tried installing onto a camera's memory card that could be plugged into a local printer but never got the chance to see if it would boot the machine (given the nature of the bios i doubt it would). When you run the start-up disk creator it seems to want to wipe the whole 'drive' before it will let you install the Live Session and i've not really tried to stop it doing that so i don't know if it would work. The start-up disk creator seems to need either the Cd/Dvd of a LiveCd in the Cd/Dvd-drive of the machine or an iso image. Could the iso image be considered a device? I'm fairly sure i have used the Start-up Disk Creator to make LiveUsbs of non-Ubuntu OSes, such as Mint (a no-brainer) but also some outside the Debian family. So, a lot of the confusion might be because it's such a versatile app. Is this bug-report about on-line documentation or instructions inside the app (or just due to it's versatility)?
