Interesting! It is worth looking into this problem. What OS (version and flavour of Ubuntu) were you running?Quote:

mkusb version 7.1 is uploaded in a compressed tar file, a tarball.
Version 7.1 contains a bugfix for unusual cases. The identification of the 'livedrive', the drive from which the current operating system is started did not work with all versions of Ubuntu when 'trying Ubuntu' or running a live session booted from from an install CD/DVD/USB drive. It is fixed to work for a few more cases. It is tested when booted from CD, and USB drives made via cloning the ISO file, grub-n-iso, unetbootin, usb-creator-gtk.
Please let me know if you find another version or instance where it does not work! For example, there are several other tools to make live drives, and there may be problems with some of them.
There is only one attached file at post #1 and it contains the new version 7.1 of mkusb and also previous versions. Extract the script from the compressed file with one of these commands (or file-roller).
I use the file name mkusb, put it into my ~/bin directory and make it executable.Code:tar -xvOf mkusb-ball.tar.gz mkusb-old-plus-minor-fix > mkusb
tar -xvOf mkusb-ball.tar.gz mkusb3 > mkusb
...
tar -xvOf mkusb-ball.tar.gz mkusb71 > mkusb
The current size and md5sum are listed in the next code box. Check that the file is correct before you start using it!Code:chmod ugo+x mkusb
Code:wc -c mkusb;md5sum mkusb # from mkusb71
12450 mkusb

Thank you
You are welcome :-) I'm glad that mkusb is useful for you.
You can make them using unetbootin...its a freeware and the best one could get.......

Yes, Unetbootin is a good tool. There is a detailed description how to use it atQuote:
