No! It is not the same. It does something completely different. It may work but I would not recommend you use it in preference to the 'cat' command. Putting an iso on a USB device in Debian is best done with the 'cat' command. UNetbootin may be a fine program but it is unsuited to deal with Debian installer images. Its use should be discouraged for this. >> Put tigon_tg3.bin on the root of usb2. Make sure it is a FAT16 partition >> *and* is formatted with mkfs.vfat.

Sorry, I do not know. I've never used it. It sounds like it will create a FAT16 partition but the partition must still be formatted as vfat. I'd use mkfs.vfat /dev/sdX1 where X is a, b, or c or whatever. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
