Interesting new Open-Source USB Image Writer

Just tried it, very nice

Download it, make it executable, then:

Code:

sudo ./Etcher-linux-x64.AppImage

(for 64bit)

It looks nice, but it seems kind of unnecessary to use javascript/node to create such a tool. It's interesting to see them using the appimage format though.

To me it looks horrible, very Fisher Price like.

I guess it takes the simple logical approach... select source, select destination, Flash

I guess the simplest would be...
right click on an iso, flash to xyz
Where xyz is any USB drive currently detected.

Did you open a terminal where you saved it, then do the:

Code:

sudo ./Etcher-linux-x64.AppImage

Yes that did it Wirezfree.

Did not realise that the terminal had to be opened from the home folder location........

Many thanks.
