sorry for the lack of description - was a bit a the end of my day on that ~

it's resolve now but what went wrong was : my computer wouldn't boot
from fat32 usb drive - had to format fat16 - but it was a 4gb so I
needed to have it divided in 2 smaller partition
not flagging it as boot drive - and updating to the latest unetbootin
might have helped too -

It's all good now though - if we describe the unetbootin process on
the puredyne page I can add some of these details ;)

thanks
