You can burn it with a Linux live CD as well.  The command would be;


zcat ./generic-pc-1.34.img | dd of=/dev/sdc bs=16k

Note SDC is the third "drive" in the system for me.  I found it on the 
last line from a "mount" command...
/dev/sdc1 on /media/KINGSTON type vfat 
(rw,nosuid,nodev,uid=1000,gid=1000,shortname=mixed,dmask=0077,utf8=1,showexec,flush,uhelper=udisks)
