On reflection I might have gone a bit over the top, so many apologies if
anything I said came through as personal or insulting. It wasn't
intended that way but as a response to the two posts which advocated
UNetbootin for writing a Debian i386/amd64 ISO to a USB device.
There may have been a time when a UNetbootin-like program was immensely
useful for such a task but lot of recent effort has been put into
polishing isohybrid production so it seems a waste not take advantage of
it. Debian doesn't always produce the perfect outcome suiting everyone,
but in this case I think it has unarguably developed something of
quality for its users.
