Hi Nio!!
Thanks, I think we should include mkusb as our default startup disk
creator (if that is ok).
Does it work with CD/DVD drive?  I have never used dd on an optical disk.
mkusb also follows all the requirements of ToriOS, it is fast light and
easy to use.
It is also very clear and simple to use :)
