Good to know, thanks.

I tried the menu entry, but it didn't work.

That worked! Unetbootin works now!
What did xhost + do to fix it? It said disabled access control, so I probably did something stupid that I didn't know about that enabled it. I just wish I knew what I did so I could learn from this.

Thanks for all the help guys, I really do appreciate it!

Tried that and got this error:

No protocol specified
unetbootin: cannot connect to X server :0

Also, is there some kind of dictionary of terminal commands? It would speed up my learning curve if I could just read through it all.

UNetBootIn won't start. Does that mean I'm missing dependencies, and if so, what dependencies does UNetBootIn have?
I also tried dd if=/source-iso of=/destination-usb, but when I tried to boot from the drive if didn't work and booted back into salix.

Thanks guys. DIdn't think you could get UNetBootIn for Salix/slack. Updating repos and getting it right now.

I don't understand what's so complicated. Please read my post.

I'm running salix. I wan't to take an .iso of xubuntu, and put it on a usb drive so I can install it on my other partition.

1. How do I put an .iso image on a usb key? Can I just mount the iso and copy the contents?
2. How do I make a ...
