Title:
usb creator should be able to download ubuntu images
Status in usb-creator package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
It should be possible for an average user to create a startup USB
stick without the need to leave the program interface / manually
search on the net for an iso file.
Canonical provides a fix way to get os images through http://cdimage.ubuntu.com so it should be possible to download images automatically using zsync and only download a bin-diff -something like:
zsync -i path-to-existing-iso url-new-iso.zsync
Mock-up of a possible download ui:
