NO NO NO. Do not listen to this. Unetbootin has caused many difficult
support problems over the years, wasting lots of time for me and other
Debian developers. We've worked very hard to make the installer boot
and run on diverse computers, then unetbootin has broken things for
users. We explicitly disrecommend it for that exact reason.
This is even more important with new features like UEFI and Secure Boot.
Rufus is a different matter - it has a "DD mode" which *is* useful for
writing an image to a USB stick unmolested.
