I have a few questions about unetbootin I would like to ask.
The first is could I use unetbootin to make a bootable USB stick of a Windows install CD. For example, if I need to install Windows on a machine without a CD drive (for example, a UMPC). Or does unetbootin only work for Linux?
Secondly, I notice Ubuntu 8.10 comes with a "Make bootable USB stick" option in the administration menu. How does this program compare to unetbootin? Is it based on unetbootin? Would I still need unetbootin? I know unetbootin lets you pick other distros and ISOs (possibly Windows as I said above), does the program included in 8.10 only do Ubuntu? Also, to make an Ubuntu stick you need an Ubuntu ISO on your hard drive, but the program included doesn't seem to need it as Ubuntu is already on the hard drive...
And finally, is there a way I can make a "Dual boot" USB stick, like if I wanted to use two different versions of Ubuntu or another distro?
