    I'd like to install Unetbootin to make a bootable USB drive of Ubuntu from my Aspire One, so that I can install it on my other computer. I was going to do this on my Windows and dual-boot, but it appears that my copy of Windows magically suffered a severe crash earlier today [it won't boot, registry issues, and the like], and I can't get it running in Linpus Lite.
    Any tips? Should I just beg a system admin at my college to use a Windows PC and get a ubuntu install onto a drive there?
    *edit*
    Unetbootin works fine in wine [so far], so it looks like I'll be able to do it anyways.
    To, you know, make a bootable USB drive, FROM my Aspire one to my windows computer. You know, in Linpus Lite. As that page says, Fedora has ... problems with Unetbootin. I suppose I wasn't crystal clear. Though I was, if you read the whole thing, because I said that my Windows had a severe crash, and I couldn't get OS's runing on it, leaving me with only Linpus Lite.

    Look at this: viewtopic.php?f=39&t=3425 - you do not need to install anything to HDD, just use the machine to create bootable USB stick...
