1. Thanks or the detailed update from me too, Israel :-)

2. Israel, Jack and all other developers,

I have copied mkusb 10.3 from

ppa:mkusb/unstable to ppa:mkusb/ppa

because I think it works well enough. Some people at the Ubuntu Forums
are helping me to test, but so far they have only complained about the
language (the text in the zenity windows). I will replace version 10.3
with version 10.3.1 in ppa:mkusb/unstable soon. It will be updated
according to the suggested changes in the text.

Anyway I suggest that you test that it works in ToriOS, and if you have
issues, please tell me as soon as possible, because they have tested it
in newer versions (including Xenial Xerus). Only I have tested it in
Precise, and maybe you two(?).

Best regards
Nio
