mkusb PPAs for vivid (Phill Whiteside)

[Nio Wiklund]

Hi Andre,

Nice method :-) I recognize some characteristics like mkusb - dd -
cloning and some characteristics like the OBI and its tarballs.

Are you using any OEM install feature too?

Linux has so many options and possibilities. I think we should look more
into this cloning feature of gnome-disks.

Best regards
Nio
