Hi,

I have uploaded an early version '0.0.0' of a re-written user interface 
to mkusb - it is called 'dus' now, and there is a thin graphical front 
end, 'guidus'. Maybe it will be renamed to mkusb, when it is ready for 
end users.

You can get it (together with mkusb and mkusb-nox) from

http://phillw.net/isos/linux-tools/mkusb

if you download and run

http://phillw.net/isos/linux-tools/mkusb/mkusb-installer

cd Downloads
bash mkusb-installer

-o-

and you can get it from the unstable PPA

sudo add-apt-repository universe  # this line only for standard Ubuntu

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

-o-

I made dus to be easier to use and easier to maintain. I removed some 
features, that nobody has commented on and I think very few have used, 
and I think the user interface is easier to use compared to mkusb and 
mkusb-nox. I hope and think it should work with minimal instructions.

'dus' might not look as good as the current mkusb version, but it is 
possible to remove some rough edges. Of course there are bugs at this 
stage, but I think it will soon surpass mkusb in user friendliness.

See this link (with more details and five screenshots):

I have tested dus in Ubuntu (all current versions) and in Debian Jessie 
and Stretch.

I must admit, that dus is not yet tested in ToriOS, but I expect that if 
there are glitches, I can fix them rather easily after spending a lot of 
time testing, fixing and polishing in Ubuntu and Debian.

Have a look at [gui]dus, try it, and tell me what you think! Early 
feedback can make a big difference :-)

Best regards
Nio
