So I've been thinking about this all day and I really don't know that it
makes sense.  The script is explicitly for *live* images (it's in the
name! :-) and making it support more than that is just going to
complicate things.  What happens when someone then wants it to support
Ubuntu images or something else? 

Also, I'm hoping to stop adding functionality to the shell script at
some point as liveusb-creator really should be preferred for most cases,
although it's command line mode needs some work
