How do you generate a USB stick manually? What does that even mean? |

UNetbootin only works with some distros, it is not a universal solution |
| 16 |
like hybrid ISOs. IMO it is redundant now we have hybrid ISOs and in my |
| 17 |
experience, very few distros are not hybrid nowadays. So forget |
| 18 |
Unetbootin. |

Because they create the stick in different ways, and there are several |
| 26 |
different types of USB device to emulate when doing so. If the only ISO |
| 27 |
that will boot from your computer on a USB stick is System Rescue Cd, use |
| 28 |
that. It's one of the best distros for installing Gentoo anyway. |
