==== Extract the ISO ====

:!: Mount the latest UBCD ISO or CD.

Extract UBCD files to a temporary location:

<file>
mkdir ~/Desktop/UBCDextracted

rsync -avr /media/<username>/UBCD528/* /home/<username>/Desktop/UBCDextracted/
</file>

==== Partition the USB Flash Drive ====

<file>
sudo su
</file>

Determine which USB drive:

<file>
fdisk -l
</file>

Blank the USB drive (optional):

<file>
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdX
</file>

Create a FAT32 partition and filesystem:

:!: Make the partition type 'c' (W95 FAT32 (LBA)) and 'active' (bootable).

<file>
fdisk /dev/sdX
</file>

==== Create the Filesystem ====

<file>
mkfs.vfat -F 32 -n UBCD /dev/sdX1
</file>

==== Copy the Files to the USB Flash Drive ====

:!: Replug the USB flash drive to mount the filesystem.

<file>
cd /home/<username>/Desktop/UBCDextracted/

rsync -avr /home/<username>/Desktop/UBCDextracted/* /media/<username>/UBCD/
</file>

==== Make the USB Flash Drive Bootable ====

<file>
dd if=./ubcd/tools/linux/ubcd2usb/mbr.bin of=/dev/sdX

chmod +x ./ubcd/tools/linux/ubcd2usb/syslinux

./ubcd/tools/linux/ubcd2usb/syslinux --install --directory /boot/syslinux /dev/sdX1
