I was looking for a lightweight tool to write Trisquel ISOs to a USB stick
and came across mintstick. Have any of you tried this yet? You can grab it
for Trisquel 6 from http://packages.linuxmint.com/pool/backport/m/mintstick/
(don't worry, its GPLv2) and it lets you write .iso and .img files to a USB
stick. It even lets you format a stick to FAT32, NTFS, and EXT4. The version
in this folder is backported from a newer release and should contain the
latest features.
You may be saying "well there's already a tool in the repositores" but this
one is really really lightweight as the .deb file is 18.7k in size. It may
also be a nice tool to add to the community backports or the Trisquel 6/7
repos in the future. If the Trisquel team has to build from the source, it
should be no problem as the tar.gz is in the link above.
P.S. More info about it at
