I wanted to make a live usb drive. Got UNetBootin from Applications > Add/Remove and downloaded the iso. Ran the GUI -- most definitely selected the correct USB drive -- and thought it was successful. I tried to boot from the flash drive and got an error saying that the kernel wasn't there... Rebooted back into Ubuntu, checked it out and sure enough no files on the flash drive.
Then I notice, that UNetbootin somehow created a new usb directory in my media directory (media/USB\040DISK) and all the files are there, instead... This new USB directory is locked, permission for root only...
Is it safe to log in as the root user and just delete this file? (And what is the best/safest way to go about doing this?)
Any ideas for why it failed to end up on my flash drive?
And suggestions for how to avoid this issue in the future -- and get the files actually onto the flash drive?
Thank you for any advice!
