Sheesh...
Thinking that liveusb-creator is often run from LiveCD, wouldn't it be
nice to create a statically linked liveusb-creator that can be
downloaded as a single binary and run?. Furthermore, such statically
linked executable could be compressed with the UPX executable
compressor...
Hello Fernando,
First of all, it is NOT a simple GUI. It is a GUI programmed in Python
using the Qt toolkit, so if you don't have Qt installed in your system,
it pulls as a dependency, which is great, because otherwise you would
have to install everything manually, so don't get me wrong, but
seriously, do you expect it to run from thin air?
I sincerely think that this kind of complaints (I have seen several from
you too) won't take you nowhere.
Have you thought about programming a "simple" graphical interface
without any dependency at all? I you do it, I promise I package it for
Fedora :)
All the best, abrazos,
Germán.
