You can also try UNetbootin <http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/>. They
have versions for Windows, Linux, and Mac.
I've installed SL6 and Linux Mint Debian from a WinXP partition using
this. Also SL6 from a Linux Mint partition. (Sorry, no Macs in my stable
of boxes.) Will also configure a USB device.
A great way to avoid making coasters.
