While playing with 8.10 after testing the output of "uname -a" on the
64-bit version, I just noticed that from the menu:
System -> Administration -> Create a USB startup disk
and it's gotta be the easiest way to make a bootable USB thumbdrive I've
ever seen: insert the USB thumbdrive, then click [Make Startup Disk].
This works using either a CD image ISO on a disk (or) the Live CD which
is in the CD/DVD drive.
Looks really neat and it's new for 8.10; now I have to find a "spare"
USB thumbdrive to test it.
