I have a lot of requests and questions.

unetbootin is not supported,  use tc-install extension instead

haven't found a way to get other than tiny core distros working with tc-install.

I just tried compiling it (requires qt-4.x) - it seems to offer all kinds of distros, but not tinycore...

Why would you want to use all of that bloat just to burn an iso to usb stick:
Code: [Select]
dd if=Core-current.iso of=/dev/sdX
..should work.

'seems to work to me:
Code: [Select]
$ dd if=/mnt/sdb1/tmp/TinyCorePure64-7.0alpha1.iso of=/dev/sdc
49152+0 records in
49152+0 records out
25165824 bytes (24.0MB) copied, 12.187199 seconds, 2.0MB/s
Edit: I booted from the resulting usb stick without problems

I got the unetbootin gui compiled and working, but it doesn't allow me to select either a hard drive or usb drive to burn an iso to and doesn't provide any error messages, so I think I'll stick to "slimmer" methods  :P

When had ls typed before booting showed filenames with strange names((56))£8)78? - something like this)

That should be "of=/dev/sdb" not "of=/dev/sdb1"
