Valtam,

Thanks.

Suspected that was reason, just wanted to make sure there wasn't something else about it I didn't know.

More consistency with other methods, unetbootin will work on one version of LL and not on another. For windows users, win32diskimager has been rock solid.

I'm not a die-hard "fan" of UNetbootin, but it is a relatively popular program for producing live USB's.  So, just curious if there is something that I don't know that is worth knowing about it.

Jerry:
Folks, see here https://www.linuxliteos.com/manual/install.html for installing LL to media. We only endorse the listed methods and even state not to use unetbootin. Cheers.

Hello!

I, too, have had some issues installing LL using YUMI. It's not really LL's fault. Some distros just don't seem to like being a part of the YUMI multiboot environment, that's all.

On the other hand, I HAVE had good results using LL with LiLi (Linux Live USB). There, it's the only OS on the stick. I know I'm sounding like a broken record as I say this, but it REALLY IS important to verify the hash on ANY ISO download before installing it.

For example, on my Compaq Presario 2500, LL puked with an I/O error when I tried to use the wireless card to download updates during the install. If I installed LL first and THEN installed the wireless card and did updates, it was fine. On another old Compaq, I get Python errors importing GPG keys - they all need to be fixed manually. This leads me to believe that some issues can be machine-specific...
