The very popular Unetbootin works most of the time but it is in no way as robust as Rufus. So I have been looking for similar tools on Linux but they always seem to be unreliable sometime. But the problem with Rufus, it requires Windows. For a long time, I have resorted to Rufus on Microsoft Windows as my most trusted USB ISO MAKER, and for all these times, I must confess, it has served me well.

You can download it here and execute liveusb-creator.exe with admin privilegesįor both Windows and Linux, it works in exactly the same way.

Fedora Media Writer is a very small, lightweight, comprehensive tool that simplifies the linux getting started experience – it downloads and writes your favorite Fedora flavor onto a USB drive, which can be later used to boot up any system.Įditor’s note: This also means you can now create Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) LiveCDs in just a few minutes. This post will provide a quick tutorial about Fedora Media Writer, and its usage in both Fedora and Windows.
