5.3.9 ubcd2usb not present in linux dir

I am trying to follow instructions on Customize page about how to create a bootable USB stick on Linux. But the shell script that is supposed to be present at /ubcd/tools/linux/ubcd2usb is simply not there. There is only a readme.txt explaining how to do the process manually.

I went looking for source code (to simply replace the file) but could not seem to find it anywhere on Sourceforge(?).

If the script has been deprecated (or whatever) perhaps the documentation should be updated?

I don't think there was ever a Linux script for "ubcd2usb":, only "ubcd2iso". The "win32" version has both.

Either 1) it was not easy to automate the process with a script, and/or 2) nobody contributed a script to do this.

I guess the realization of that has slowly dawned on me in the meantime. :D

I do appreciate the reply though, and of course all your past efforts as well.

Cheers!
