Ah, yes I saw that there were descriptions of how to do it using dd but it's*much* simpler to use an application made for the job like unetbootin. This is what I used and it's pretty foolproof (and I'm the fool, sometimes).
I'd argue that dd is the *perfect* tool for the job and unetbootin isn't :)
dd was designed to take an image file and write it to a block device (or vice versa)
unetbootin was designed to prepare flash media to boot an X86 box from an image that was supposed to be burnt to CD/DVD. I am not even sure about how you would go about using unetbootin to prepare boot media for a RPi
You just follow the defaults and it does it! :-)
