This is the Solution! It uses cURL to curl the file byte-by-byte and uses DD to put the curled output to a Physical Drive! Also it displays all physical devices with lsblk and waits 15 seconds to terminate the program if it was started wit wrong arguments. Usage: curldd url.to/iso /dev/sdX The core of the package is `curl $url | dd of=$output`. At line 15 https://github.com/user0-tb/curldd/blob/main/bin/curldd: Does this short one-liner require its own package? And if so, please change the description to exclude 'This is a Application'. An example could be: 'Download and write an ISO or raw image directly to a physical drive' With kind regards, Roland Clobus OpenPGP_signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

What? The executable part is literally "curl $1 | dd of=$2". No way to give options to curl or dd. This has a LONG way to go before it could warrant packaging, but I can't even imagine what you could add to make it worth that effort. -- Tino Didriksen
