I don't know when this happened but unetbootin-linux-555 is now
available. This allows dozens of live Linux distributions to be
downloaded onto a USB stick. The new version includes Fedora 15. The yum
available unetbootin does not allow this.
You can download it from:
http://www.unetbootin.sourceforge.net
This allowed me to download the latest Ubuntu version. I admit the
interface as at leas as weird as Gnome 3.

What I am saying the yum installed unetbootin while in F15 does not
allow you to download Live F15. That is true on my machine.
But it has the option, on my machine! Has done so (only the live true F)
for the last 2-3 distributions since I discovered unetbootin.
Note that I have never used that F so have never actually downloaded
it. I download the LXDE spin and use unetbootin to save to USB.

You can download them yourself if you know where to go. But here you can
chose between a large number of distributions in one place. Without
being snippy its obvious that it can only download the distributions it
can download. But if you try it you will find it can download most of
the distributions you would want to download.
unetbootin's purpose is "to create bootable Live USB drives"
(according to http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/), not to download
dvds. If it can do that, too, great. If it can't, you can do that part
yourself. I don't think anybody was questioning whether "it can only
download the distributions it can download".

Or, you can install from the DVD, customize and select whatever DE you
want and deselect Gnome.
You can if you have all the relevant DVDs. I think ubootnetin is very
handy. I don't understand why I find all this hostility to this
software.

Actually, there are Fedora LXDE/XFCE/KDE, etc spins and that are not in
the unetbootin options. But X/K/Ed/ubuntus are.

What I am saying the yum
installed unetbootin while in F15 does not
allow you to download Live F15. That is true on my machine.

What prevents you from downloading them yourself? Does unetbootin only

There seems to be a misunderstanding. I am talking about being able to
download distributions. You are interested in DEs. If you want let us
say LXDE under F15 you install F15 with its default DE and then install
LXDE using yum.
Actually, there are Fedora LXDE/XFCE/KDE, etc spins and that are not in
the unetbootin options. But X/K/Ed/ubuntus are.
I am completely confused by your line: It does not? Mine does.
What is yours and what does it do,
I was responding to your statement "The yum available unetbootin does
not allow this". For me, this statement is not true.
I also have to make and make a New Year's resolution. (After all

Nothing. Just noted that it did not. Felt it was strange given that
it does have xubuntu, ubuntu, kubuntu, edubuntu etc.
