Re: [chirp_users] An early Christmas present for CHIRP users
I down loaded UNetbootin and installed on a micro SD card in an USB adapter. When I ran the program it asks me to Select Distribution and than gives me a list. Which one should I choose? My operating system is XP.

My favorite for burning CD images in Windows is ImgBurn (http://www.imgburn.com/). It is very reliable and free. Another thing you can do is 'burn' the image to a USB flash drive using UNetbootin (http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/). That's what I did. Jim KC9HI

It's an image of a CD, which means you need to burn it to the CD as an image, not just as a file on the CD. I'm sure googling "burn image to cd in windows" will turn up something useful. I imagine Windows 7 has a way to do this built-in. Both Linux and MacOS have had this point-and-click behavior integrated for years, without add-on software.

Gary, Are you talking about running UNetbootin on the micro SD card? It should be saved to your computer somewhere convenient along with the Chirp_LiveCD.iso. Then when you launch UNetbootin, click on the [ ... ] button near the bottom right and then use the file manager that pops up to select your Chirp_LiveCD.iso. Make sure the correct drive is selected and then click the [OK] button. When UNetbootin is done writing to the micro SD card, select [Exit]. Close out all of your apps, then you can reboot your computer yourself. Jim KC9HI

Gary,
Click on the 'Diskimage' radio button. In the area next to the ISO selection box, click on the '...' area to browse to where you saved the disk image. Make sure you have at least a 4 GB USB drive plugged in, and press 'OK'. UNetbootin should start copying the image to the USB drive. When it is finished, reboot. Enjoy linux and Chirp!

Why 4GB, isn't a 1GB stick big enough?

Lou,
I personally like to use a 4 GB stick when I install additional programs on the stick to make it a 'live-production' drive. That allows some space to keep documents and other data on the drive.
I typically use 2 GB sticks for regular live disk distributions such as ubuntu, mint, and others. I mostly use these to install the distribution on my machine. I never use a 1 GB stick as a 'live drive', but you probably could.

Answered my own question.
Again following Bob's instructions except with a 1GB stick (all I have as the stores are closed today) I was able to create a bootable CHIRP USB stick that works with my UV-R5 and Wouxun KG-UV6. Just like that no special tricks.

It fits on a 650 MB CD. A 1 GB USB drive is plenty (if you can still find one that small!).

Correction... It probably requires an 800 MB CD. Jim
