Hi All,
In the beginners guide, there are instructions to make a bootable USB drive.
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Beg … #USB_stick
Would it be a good idea to add instructions for unetbootin?
http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/
The only problem I have encountered using unetbootin is that it has an outdated version of arch in it's distribusion list:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/unetbootin/+bug/318724
The work around is to download the .iso file manually and feed it to unetbootin.
Sorry for my language, I'm tired
Best regards,
Cedric

I never used it, but if it works, you can add a link (to the wiki page above) to the beginners' guide.

Isn't it more usefull to merge the 2 wiki articles? As far as I can see both contain more or less the same information.

Strange, I have installed arch just fine using netbootin and an iso image.
I will test and report back.
Anyway, I think we better fix the issue than removing netbootin, it's a good way to make a bootable usb drive

Cool. You can talk to Hokasch about his objections.

Please see what I added later on the discussion page. The updated instructions should work. I also filed a bug report, but there was no response. Apart from that, nothing we can do to "fix it".
I have no objections against the unetbootin instructions now - asked to remove it when the instructions did not work and there where a lot of posts from people failing to install with unetbootin on the forums.

Either way (keep / remove) is fine with me.
