[Leaplist] Problem with loading Ubuntu Netbook Remix 9.04 .img on my USB flash Drive

[Jamal Fanaian]

If you are already using ubuntu you should have usb-creator either  
installed or in your package manager. That will let you specifiy an  
iso and it will copy it to the USB and make sure the USB is bootable.

I have never used dd to copy to the USB so I apologize that I can't be  
of any help with that method.

Good luck!
