Blog: qt-fll-iso2usb-gui - a Qt front-end for the sidux usb installer (fll-iso2usb)

Contributed by edhunter on 17. Dez 2009 - 12:30 Uhr

qt-fll-iso2usb-gui is an easy to use gui front-end for the sidux usb installer written in C++ using the Qt toolkit with the KDE users in mind. 

It was written as a replacement for install-usb-gui on a KDE system but it can also be used on any other Desktop Environment. It offers most of the options the cli backend does, including the option to add any grub boot line cheatcode and persist.

When using persist with a vfat USB-stick it allows you to select the size (in %) of the persistent storage.

A core benefit is that it allows you to refresh the USB-stick list if you decide to create more live USBs without restarting the application.

If required it also offers you the option to add a label to your device via the label checkbox and the entry box that will appear.

By now it should be in all the sidux repositories so you can install it with apt-get update && apt-get install qt-fll-iso2usb-gui . After installation you can find it in the menu under the title "install-sidux-to-usb".


If you have any problems using the application or you have some suggestion please open a forum thread stating your problem/suggestion.

  1. Good Work!
    Very well done - and congrats for becoming an official sidux core developer recently.
    Greetings,

  2. Windows-version?
    Could this possibly be a foundation for a Windows port since it is using qt and c++? (I am not a coder)
  3. RE: Windows Version
    No this is not thought as a foundation for a possible windows version because it is based on fll-iso2usb which is a bash script (yes I know that cygwin exists but I doubt that it can run it). Furthermore internally the program expects a linux directory tree to search for the usb device to install onto. Possibly other parts of the code like the signal are also linux/UNIX only but I can not say for sure as I do not know how those look on Windows.

    cheers
