[edit] Features

  • Install bootloader to USB device
  • Optional persistence (all changes made to the system are saved, unlike a Live CD)
  • Progress indicator
  • Does not format the device

[edit] Future development

Currently the tool is only available for Ubuntu, but Windows and KDE versions are planned. [1]

However, you can still install this utility through Kubuntu (or other official derivataves, depending on what disc or ISO you select) with the command: sudo apt-get install usb-creator
