And some BIOSes have a menu available with a hot key right after POST to
select the boot device, overriding the BIOS setting.

On one of my home boxes and the ones at NCAS, there is a BIOS setting
called Boot USB Device First separate from the boot sequence settings.
If this is not set, it doesn't matter if USB is in the first boot
position. It still won't boot. Does your system have something like
this perhaps?

My question now is: so far, on my home computers I have been going into the
boot menu and clicking on usb to be first in boot sequence. This hasn't
worked so far. Then I went into BIOS Setup and put usb first in boot
sequence. That didn't work either. There is another BIOS setting (other
than boot sequence), called HARD DISK DRIVE. The choices there are: 1)
"System BIOS boot devices" and 2) "USB Device". I am able to switch the
order so "USB Device" is first and "System BIOS boot devices" is second, but
I thought I better run it past you guys first. I'd hate to do it and find I
can't boot from the USB and I can no longer get into BIOS to switch it back
to "System BIOS boot devices". Should I leave HARD DISK DRIVE alone? Or
should I change it to "USB Device"
Thanks,
Phil

Still no luck. When I do: ./unetbootin-linux-344 I get:
./unetbootin-linux-344: error while loading shared libraries:
libpng12.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I looked for libpng in Synaptic and I find: libpng12-0 is installed.
I looked for libpng12.so.0, Synaptic can't find it.
I think that you need to install "libpng-devel" in addition to "libpng".
That is where libpng12.so.0 comes from.
