Thanks for the info Roger. I tried this tip from Ubuntu Forums, and it worked:

It was just a matter of changing variables in the syslinux.cfg file.

Thanks

I've had mixed success booting from thumb drives. CDs / DVDs have worked better, even when booting from an external drive via USB.

Also interesting is

Let us know what works.

    Hi,

    Okay OT but someone here must know.  I've never been able to create a
    bootable thumb drive from iso using unetbootin.  Specifically, I need to
    make a dban thumb drive to wipe a netbook (no cd drive). unetbootin
    gives me a menu of scripts on bootup. This menu is useless.  Seems that
    a lot of the thumb drive creation software is written as windows
    software for windows users who want to create a bootable linux distro
    iso.  That doesn't help me.  Better ideas?

    Thanks
    Jordan
