	I make my USB bootable drives from *.iso files just
as I do with making DVD/CD boot files.  I wish there was a
Linux wide system for making flash drives.  PCLOS has its own
Flash Drive writer and it is very finicky about the file
system on the drive. Still I have managed to make several of
these on cheap USB Flash sticks.

	Knoppix is a little better but again is making
only Knoppix Flash Drives.  Put it on a 8 Gigabyte Flash
drive though and you have a persistent preferences system.
I will be updating my Knoppix FD later today as Linux Pro
brought a new CEBIT special of Knoppix.

	I am currently having a bad time trying to make
a bootable Kali flash drive using "dd" according to their
own directions and having a bad time with that.

	Kali has some good stuff there.
