Package: unetbootin Version: 603-1 Followup-For: Bug #696617 Dear Maintainer,
the info at http://sourceforge.net/p/unetbootin/wiki/commands/ is very useful indeed. I was having troubles using unetbootin with a device containing a NTFS partition in order to create a bootable Windows drive, many guides suggested to use an old version of unetbootin but this was not strictly necessary, it was enough to pass the desired "targetdrive" option to unetbootin. The command line I had to use was: unetbootin installtype=USB targetdrive=/dev/sdf1 but finding out the appropriate options was hard, there was no mention of them in the man page or in the --help output, I was lucky to find the hint in a _comment_ to a blog post, and only after that I looked up "targetdrive" and landed on the official documentation on sf.net. Please mention the upstream documentation or list the command line options in the manual page. If you need help just say so and I will prepare a patch.
