Linux USBBootCreator

Made with <3 by Amazing Cow.

Description:

usb-boot-creator - Creates bootable usb sticks with ease.

usb-boot-creator is a small tool to help the easy but very tedious task of turning a usb stick into a bootable usb stick.

It's mainly a wrapper of dd(1) letting you forget about the clumsy command line options and providing security checks.

DISCLAIMER

** dd(1) MUST BE DONE WITH SUPERUSER PRIVILEGES AND YOU'RE MESSING WITH YOUR DISKS, SO TAKE A DOUBLE, TRIPLE, 100^100 CHECK BEFORE HIT ENTER :)**

As usual, you are very welcomed to share and hack it.

Usage:

usb-boot-creator [-hv] <disk-image-path>

Options:
  *-h --help     : Show this screen.
  *-v --version  : Show app version and copyright.

Notes:
  TAKE [A LOT OF] CARE, this program need perform dd(1) as,
  SUPERUSER so double check your disk name before do anything stupid.

  Options marked with * are exclusive, i.e. the usb-boot-creator
  will run that and exit successfully after the operation.
