i was using YUMI to make a bootable usb for linux distro- linux gamers,that came along with an issue of digit,
but on choosing the distro in second step,i cant find linux gamer in it.
so i choose the last option (try any other distros)
but after creating the usb and booting from usb im getting an error "Boot device not ready" in a console

this is my first time using an linux distro
any help??

try this command through any linux-:
dd if=path to the iso of=/dev/sdb
change /dev/sdb to your usb's device name. (NOTE: no numbers will follow the /dev/sdx)
