What it is
A small command-line utility for linux to create bootable usb-s fast and easy - written in python.
What it does
- Looks through your home directory and lists your ISO files (newest first) to choose one
- Lists your connected USB drives (by their brand and size for easy recognition) to choose one
- Unmount your selected USB if it's mounted
- Formats it as a FAT32 drive
- Puts your selected ISO on it (with the dd utility)
What it needs
- Python 2 or 3
- A system that has the following utilities installed: find, mount, mkdosfs and dd
Why would you need it
I'm the type of user how likes experimenting with different OS-s and distros and found it way too time consuming to manually create the bootable usb-s in the command line. I hope others find this useful as well.
How to install it
pip install bootable-usb
How to use it
Just run the following command and after that everything should be self-explanatory
bootable-usb
