mkusb PPAs for vivid (Phill Whiteside)

[Andre Rodovalho]

Yes, I guess gnome-disks use something similiar as dd to clone and restore
disks. I use it to make some replication on the company I work.

It is very simple and functional. I do not use .iso images. I have a backup
(root partition) made from an existing installation I made and tweaked. So,
with that disk image I can restore on other disks, the only thing I need to
do further is to install grub2 on the restored disk...

I do not have an image of the home partition. I have the files compressed
in a .tar.gz file. When I "create a new disk install", I do a swap and home
partition compatible with disk space and machine configuration. Then just
extract those user files into /home
