Hi everybody, I have uploaded a release candidate of the *mkusb* tool to install iso files and compressed image files to mass storage devices (typically but not only USB drives).
It is only a bash script, and has been running in crude text mode, but people want eye candy, so I've made menus with dialog (big brother of whiptail), and also improved the identification of devices slightly (replaced calling 'parted -ls' with a home-made bash function). It is still text mode, so runs in text screens and terminal windows. To illustrate the crucial part of mkusb, how to help selecting the correct device and avoid overwriting other devices, there are pictures attached at this link (my tutorial thread in the Ubuntu Forums.) http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1958073&page=3&p=13076377#post13076377 -o- The file mkusb8-rc is uploaded to Phill's server at http://phillw.net/isos/linux-tools/mkusb/ Check it with the corresponding signed md5sum file. Code: -rwxr-xr-x. 1 nio nio 22877 18 jul 06.46 mkusb8-rc -rw-rw-r--. 1 nio nio 581 18 jul 11.27 mkusb8-rc.md5.asc The quick start manual and the opening post in the tutorial thread are still valid, except the illustrations, that will be updated later on with screenshots of the menus. Please give me feedback about this release candidate: help me find bugs and suggest improvements!
