Hello Sir!

1. Are you using Ubuntu right now?
If your answer is yes use the usb creator of Ubunu
System - Administration - USB Startup creator

there are a couple of subtle differences between 9.04 & 9.10 -- as ever, pendrivelinux is the place to head .... it's this way ---> http://www.pendrivelinux.com/category/usb-installs-from-linux/

There are other options, such as via windows on that site -- they're pretty darn good :D

They should sort it out for you (so far, 100% success rate from people I send there - so don't break it - lol)

Phill.
