I untarred unetbootin-608.tar.gz expecting it to create a directory 
unetbootin-608. Instead it dumped all the files into my directory, requiring a 
cleanup. I don't think I've seen a tarball that doesn't create its own directory 
in 20yrs.

When you get in there you find it doesn't use make, it uses

lupdate-qt4, lrelease-qt4 and qmake-qt4

whatever the hell they are (and I don't have them). If a package doesn't use 
configure and make, I usually don't bother.

I'm with Debian on this one.

I'm glad it works for you, and it sounds pretty neat, but I can't get it to go 
on Linux or Windows.

Joe
