Hi, I really support the idea of making it easier and asked Michal to take a look, see https://features.opensuse.org/308352
There is a UI tool for writing images to USB sticks available as part of the kiwi project: http://software.opensuse.org/ymp/openSUSE:Tools/openSUSE_11.2/kiwi-tools- imagewriter.ymp
Well, this tool looks great for the job (didn't try actually copying the image yet, but I assume it works).
In my not so humble opinion only a few small issues need to be addressed, to make it perfect:
The tool needs to be put in default desktop installations for 11.3
The package lacks a menu entry/.desktop file to make it easily launchable via the menu - e.g. Kickoff - with clicky, clicky and a nice xdg-su/kdesu permission dialog.
It seems that you _must_ plug in the usb-device _before_ launching imagewriter - either this should be changed, or there should be some kind of reminder/warning on startup if no usb-device is found. Please if somebody has input like this please add to the feature or even better get in touch with Michal and help to get it done, thanks.
Klaas
