I am trying to create a boot Linux Mint 17.2 (with Cinnamon desktop) flash drive. Not being a Linux command line guru, I would like to use the GUI. I don't seem to be able to find a program that works much like the Windows Universal USB Installer. I can easily create the non-persistent version from the available programs that came with Mint. Is there something else? If there is a terminal command line, okay, but I hope it's simple. I can do that easily enough with Windows, but am trying to get away from Windows in all respects.

Unetbootin, see the link below. If you are now using a Linux system make sure you get the correct download as there are versions for Linux, windows and Mac. Read through the instructions, pretty simple.

Thanks for the great directions. I used the terminal and everything worked perfectly. Turns out that is also downloadable as an app, but--you have to know what to search for and I had no idea. Thanks again.
