Hello,
I received lot of openSUSE usb flash device (8Gb), but empty.
writing one at a time with imagewriter is very time consuming (approx 10 mn each).
But I have 4 usb ports on my tower's front.
And I have this thing I can plug into the single USB on mine which has 4 ports. There's a lot of it about.
Is there a *safe* way to write for device at the same time. using dd makes me fear to destroy one of my hard drive :-(
Many tools _can_, if you use them incorrectly, damage your hard disk. Using them incorrectly often invovles using root. try this dd if=isoimage.dat of =/dev/.../usb1 bs=.. etc etc etc & dd if=isoimage.dat of =/dev/.../usb2 bs=.. etc etc etc & dd if=isoimage.dat of =/dev/.../usb3 bs=.. etc etc etc & dd if=isoimage.dat of =/dev/.../usb4 bs=.. etc etc etc & ... go have a coffee ... for appropriate output ports. Perhaps you could chown them so that all of the above can be run by a non-root user. -- /"\ \ / ASCII Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML Mail / \ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
