Yeah, I have a Ubuntu machine running LTS and the same command worked 
fine. It just made me a little nervous to run grml2usb on it because 
it's an important machine and it seems like you could wreck stuff if you 
gave the wrong device name to grml2usb. The flash drive is /dev/sdc and 
you type /dev/sdb by mistake.

But I'm not an idiot, or at least I wasn't when I ran the command, so it 
worked fine.
