Worik, did  dd if=img.iso of=/dev/sdb   work?        Relating to this, 
over the weekend I wanted to put several distributions and a Windows ISO 
onto a single pen drive from my workplace Windows desktop, YUMI is what 
I ended up with and I found it worked brilliantly.  It doesn't list 
Linhes perhaps it's not a live distro, but http://www.pendrivelinux.com 
also has a program called "Universal USB Installer" which does list 
Linhes, I think they're GPL2.   I wonder if there is a Linux front end 
for this?  Rob
