Disk Utility is an excellent tool for managing your drives. Today I will format a Flash drive to prepare it for "Live USB Install" or "Unetbootin". LUI gurus can use the "# dd if=your_distro_name.iso of=/dev/sd(x)" command.

Ubuntu, Fedora and other distros:
Search Synaptic for Disk Utility

Arch Linux:
# pacman -S gnome-disk-utility Place your comments on my FORUM at http://www.cupoflinux.com
