Hi again Artem, Why using dd ? Well... It's just universal and works everywhere for anybody.
But it's nice to know that bmaptools can be used this way... I know some guys who will be *VERY* happy to use it and avoid *THE* common mistake (dd ... of=/dev/sda!). So please share your favorite cmdline with bmaptools: this will help us all. We tried to build liveusb images (faster to flash, even with dd :-)) but they don't boot correctly: I'll post on this later and I'm quite sure you can help on this topic. Anyway, just take this first image as it comes and don't pay too much attention to the delivery: what's interesting is inside.
