As the author and sole developer of said tool, the thought of making it the default download causes me a little bit of anxiety. Here are some things to keep in mind: • It's almost always out of sync with the livecd-iso-to-disk script, which is more actively maintained. • It'll pull in PyQt4 & friends • Mac support is possible, but has yet to be implemented. https://github.com/lmacken/liveusb-creator/issues/6 • It currently cannot create GPT partition tables on it's own • It was created as, and continues to be, a weekend side-project of mine and has never seen the day-to-day maintenance that a 'default' tool deserves. > Also when I tried using the liveusb-creator I did discover that it fails horribly if the filesystem on > the USB stick is not vfat.

It should work with both vfat and ext filesystems, so that is a bug if it did not. luke -- desktop mailing list desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop
