Wanted to try something different so I opened Make Startup Disk from the System Settings but it does not see trisquel-netinst_6.0.1_i686.iso. It shows other .iso files, however. So I removed the other .iso files from the directory in case it was a population issue, but still not showing up.
Skipping the gui, I also tried the following, which does not populate the option nor does it give an error.
usb-creator-gtk -i trisquel-netinst_6.0.1_i686.iso
Successfully created the boot system from another program so it probably isn't the NetInstall download.
Could be the architecutre. I'm using a 64bit Trisquel and there are several as-is bugs such as with Wine or Replicant SDK that only show up here. Then again, could just be usb-creator-gtk.
usb-creator only works with live-cd's, which netinstall images aren't. The standard trisquel iso comes with the netinstall inside ("install in text mode" option), so you can use that. In any case to load a netinst into a usb using dd usually works:
$ sudo umount /dev/sdX1
$ sudo dd if=file.iso of=/dev/sdX
Replace sdX with the usb device (not the partition)
