Hi everybody,
After some minor edits in the shell-script (after mkusb8-rc) and heavy edits in the documents I have released mkusb version 8 The intention is that the menus should make it useful for a larger group of people. It is still worthwhile testing mkusb. If you find a bug, it will be easier for me to fix it now while I still remember what I have been programming. *Quick start manual and mkusb* The fastest way to start making USB boot drives with this method is to download the quick start manual and the shell-script mkusb and check the md5sums. See this link http://phillw.net/isos/linux-tools/mkusb/ - Download mkusb http://phillw.net/isos/linux-tools/mkusb/mkusb - View or download the new quick start manual http://phillw.net/isos/linux-tools/mkusb/mkUSB-quick-start-manual.pdf - View or download the old quick start manual http://phillw.net/isos/linux-tools/mkusb/mkUSB-quick-start-manual-74.pdf - Check the md5sums http://phillw.net/isos/linux-tools/mkusb/md5sum.txt.asc -o- There is a more detailed description with many screenshots at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/mkusb You can also read the first post of the Ubuntu Forums Tutorial thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1958073 Best regards Nio Den 2014-07-18 12:14, Nio Wiklund skrev: > 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).
