Interesting Things About Unetbootin
I use Unetbootin to burn anything into my USB drives. I use it to create Fedora, Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Blankon, Slackware bootable USB, until I can not count anymore how many times I've been used it. Even Unetbootin can burn Hiren's Boot CD image into my flash drive. All them work. So we can see now that Unetbootin is usable to create any operating system bootable USB drive from Linux.
More interesting thing is Unetbootin can create your bootable persistent. So, even it is just a bootable liveusb, you can save your changes inside the OS in the USB drive. That is persistent technology. You can enable persistent by giving Space used to preserve... section a value. How many MB for your persistent storage inside the OS in the USB drive. See picture above.
