creating bootable usb

[prudra]

I have a Zenith (India) Z-Book OEM 32-bit Intel Atom Netbook with Debian Squeeze OS and no Windows or Ubuntu. I want to create a bootable usb for my already downloaded ubuntu-10.04-netbook-i386.iso.
I have previously created and used bootable usb for debian-squeeze and opensuse-11.4 with cli command
#dd if=xxxxx.iso of=/dev/sdb bs=4M. There is a slight difference in procedure for the two linux operating systems. However the usb that I created by the above cli command for ubuntu did not work. I also tried the unetbootin that I have previously istalled in my debian machine but again got a failure. In all the google searching I found how to create a bootable ubuntu usb but only on windows or ubuntu or mac machines; but not on other linux operating system. I have now come here for help and I'll appreciate it enormously.
Thanks.

I could not manage the linux route. So reluctantly took the windows route (universal usb creator) and have now ubuntu-10.04.3-LTS installed on the netbook. At least now I have the StartupDiscCreator ; so there will be no problem when 12.04 comes out.
I'll now be more frequent visitor here.Thanks.

Sorry, I should have done that; but how? Will it be possible to close it by someone with Administrator status? Thanks in advance.
