Testing
Testing that it works as expected, looking for
- bugs
- things that can be misunderstood
- things that are not user friendly
New ways for mkusb to work
The release candidate in the PPA ppa:mkusb/unstable has basically only added eye candy for the old way to work, that was there in the text mode version. Is it enough, or must there be new ways to work to make it work for new users?
Starting mkusb
Is it OK to run mkusb as a command line tool, where the input file is entered as parameter #1 (the source of the cloning, where the target is the USB drive)?
I found the answer 'No' ... at least many newcomers from Windows or MacOS want menus for as much as possible. |
Generally:
sudo path1/mkusb path2/input.iso
Example:
sudo ./mkusb mini.iso
Or is it important, that I add an outer layer, with a menu tool to select input file (iso file or compressed image file)?
I found the answer 'Yes', and developed version 8 and 9 for this purpose |
Example:
sudo -H mkusb
and
Menu -- System -- mkusb
Installing mkusb
Now mkusb can be installed via PPA.
- Is the installation via PPA (according to these wiki pages) easy enough?
- Is it important that mkusb is made available from the menu/dash automatically in the installation process?
