as I understood Unetbootin is optional. you could use a bootable DVD, which is what I did, to format the 4 gig flash drive and make the 2 partitions through the use of fdisk command.

Before I burned the ISO to the DVD I did try to use Unetbootin on a 2 gig flash so that I wouldn't have to use a disk at all but It didn't want to boot up ether so maybe it is broken.

I have recently attempted to install Backtrack 4 on my 4 gig flash drive. It is in many ways similar to ubuntu and runs KDE.
On the flash I created two partitions. one is fat32 and the other ext3 following this tutorial on how to do it.

I made the fat32 with a bootable flag, copied the entire dvd over to the partition and ran the grub-install on the same partition.
when I tried booting it, all the screen said was grub at the top left corner and appeared frozen. I think tried to reinstall grub with the same command and it was saying "unknown Partition table signature" about 8 times but the said it was successful with out any errors. This is obviously wrong cuz it doesnt boot.

the menu.lst appears to be fine all though I was required to modify it a little

if anyone has any ideas I would appreciate
I'm a bit stuck

Kiso worked really well for me but thanks for the ideas

yeah I'll try that if Kiso doesn't work. good idea. might work thx. I'll try it. It did come up with that error.

well thx but the problem is that I have three image files that are
.ccd
.img
.sub
and they come from a cloneCD, not just a regular iso.
I cant find a way to burn them to a disk using linux

Help appreciated

Ok so I'm the kind of person to do his reasurch before asking questions but now I'm just stuck.

I can't really find a way to burn a CDimage that's made from cloneCD so if anyone has an idea I'd apreciate it.

Just as info I'm running xubuntu/ubuntu desktops and I've already tried using ccd2iso and K3D to make an iso. I've also tried finding a .deb package for ISOmount but no luck.

Help apreciated
thx
