The purpose of SDC is to be an application on the default install and on the images, so that users can write a new version to USB to try it before installing. It's still satisfying this primary purpose. FWIW, I'm not opposed to change, but I'd like to see people coming forward with something that is proven to work correctly, and that has more backing than a small poll on Forums. It's also not only my decision, but rather the decision of Ubuntu users and developers in general. Already looking after usb-creator, it seems like it's by far simpler to just fix the bugs. So, request a session at UOS, discuss it there, and see if people are willing to do the work to support it *in Ubuntu*, looking at the bugs, etc. From there, we used to have a "defaults" session where default applications on images were "picked". If I was you I'd at least bring up your alternative on ubuntu-devel, see if there is interest. -- Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre <[email protected]> Freenode: cyphermox, Jabber: [email protected] 4096R/DC95CA5A 36E2 CF22 B077 FEFE 725C 80D3 C7DA A946 DC95 CA5A
