MultiWriter: Concurrently writes ISO images to 20 USB boot disks.

My question is, how can I burn a Linux ISO file to 17 USB boot disks?

Code-savvy people will write a bash script for automated processing, most people will use graphical user interface tools like USB boot disk creators to burn one or more ISO files to the drive disk. However, some people may soon come to the conclusion that both methods are not ideal.

Problem> Solution

GNOME MultiWriter is running

Richard Hughes, a GNOME developer, is also facing a similar dilemma. To create a batch of USB boot disks pre-installed with operating systems, he needs a simple enough tool for users like his father to use.

His reaction was to develop brand-new applications and combine the two methods above to create an easy-to-use tool.

It is called "GNOME MultiWriter" and can simultaneously write a single ISO or IMG file to multiple USB drive disks.

It does not support personalized user-defined or command line execution functions, so you can use it to save one afternoon of repetitive actions for the same operation.

What you need is this application, an ISO image file, some thumb drive disks to use many empty USB interfaces.

Use Cases and Installation

This application can be installed on Ubuntu

This application is well defined and applicable to USB boot disks with pre-installed operating systems or live images.

That is to say, if anyone wants to create a single boot USB boot disk, the same is true for me-because I have never succeeded in creating a bootable Image Using Ubuntu's built-in disk creation tool, this solution is good news for me!

Its developer Hughes says it supports up to 20 USB boot disks, each of which is between 1 GB and 32 GB.

GNOME MultiWriter also has a bad problem (until now) that it has not finished yet and is stable. It can work, but in the early days, there was no binary version that could be installed or a PPA that could be added to your huge software source.

If you know the common configure/make operation process, you can obtain the source code and compile and run it at any time. On Ubuntu14.10, you may need to install the following software packages first:

1. Sudo apt-get install gnome-common yelp-tools libcanberra-gtk3-dev gobject-introspection

If you can run it, you can share your feelings with us!

This project is hosted on GitHub and is expected to raise issues and defects and initiate a pull request. You can also find the compressed package to download and install it manually.
