Use this USB Installer : http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal- ... -as-1-2-3/

Works way better than Unetbootin !!!

"could not find kernel image /casper/vmlinuz

when using pendrivelinux, make sure to format the usb drive so it has the right file system (fat32), otherwise syslinux will throw an error.

if the usb drive boots but throws an error like in the title above, check if there’s a file called vmlinuz in the casper directory. if there’s only a vmlinuz.efi file, copy it and rename it to vmlinuz. booting the kernel should work after this."
