Re: make USB boot drives with mkusb

 

Hi ToriOS developers,

I had time so I made an attempt to modify mkusb to look more like a
standard GUI program. Have a look at mkusb version 10.1.1 :-)


1. Running mkusb from the desktop file (via a menu or file browser)

There are old and new dialogue windows and new progress windows. At the
very end, the user will get a window with what was printed to 'mkusb
console' before, but is now redirected to /mkusb.log. See the attached
files.

- Is it a good idea to show it like that, or should it be optional (to
be selected from a menu instead of having to look at it)?


2. Running mkusb from the command line

It uses the terminal window as the 'mkusb console' like before, but
there are also progress windows.


*. Get this version from the unstable PPA

mkusb 10.1.1 is available from ppa:mkusb/unstable via the following
command lines,

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mkusb/unstable
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install mkusb

# if you want mkusb-nox
sudo apt-get install mkusb-nox

# or if you want both mkusb and mkusb-nox
sudo apt-get install mkusb mkusb-nox

that will install the bleeding edge version of mkusb and/or mkusb-nox
(testing new features and bug-fixes).


Best regards
Nio
