What I usually do is to 'dd if=GoboLinux.iso of=/dev/sdX', where sdX is the USB flash drive's block device. My guess is that UNetBootin is partitioning the device and putting the GoboLinux ISO contents on another partition. You could try to run "fdisk -l" to investigate the partition tables. Another option is to run "dmesg" and catch the bottom-most messages to find out which partitions were discovered on the flash drive. Afterwards, you will need to: 1. mount the partition on /Mount/CD-ROM 2. copy /bin/startGoboLinux to /tmp 3. edit /tmp/startGoboLinux and comment out the line that reads "/bin/mountGoboLinux" 4. run /tmp/startGoboLinux Hope this helps, Lucas
