USB Image Writer

[thunderkiss65]

I used to use Linux Mint for years. I moved to arch but I still use Cinnamon and what other tools i can find the exact name of.
I am looking for the exact name of the USB Image Writer so i can install it on Arch. Any help would be appreciated.
BTW, the website upgrades look great.

I think it is now called mintstick, was usb-imagewriter.
It does come with quite a lot of dependencies though..

Essentially, mintstick is a frontend for dd (from coreutils).
minstick just opens the device (like /dev/sdX) for writing and writes a chunk of data onto it using python's file.write() .

You may be better off using dd itself.
sudo dd if=/path/to/iso of=/dev/sdX bs=4M status=progress && sync

Be careful not to overwrite device(s) containing important data. Always double check the device name (like /dev/sdX).
