Comment 41 for bug 234185

The point of unetbootin (or isotostick.sh) is that you run them on your current o/s (or even windows) to create a key that can install any other. Isn't usb-creator an intrepid tool? If I had intrepid successfully installed somewhere, I could try it - although my understanding from the forums was that it created a "live" session, not an "alternative" session, which is what I need to do this full-disk encryption.

If usb-creator is still relevant here and there's a way for me to use, please let me know and I'll give it a try.

The point of my post was really to re-open the cd-rom detect issue in the alternative installer. It says fix-released, but that doesn't appear to be the case in my experience. I couldn't really follow the patches talked about in this thread, so I thought it was worth posting again.
