Project description
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
