ADN Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Rufus is a utility that helps format and create bootable USB flash drives, such as USB keys/pendrives, memory sticks, etc. It can be especially useful for cases where : - You need to create USB installation media from bootable ISOs (Windows, Linux, UEFI, etc.) - You need to work on a system that doesn't have an OS installed - You need to flash a BIOS or other firmware from DOS - You want to run a low-level utility Download Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halvgris Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 i know ethcer is so much larger but it keeps all needed loaders and stuff for old/different linux systems. while rufus asks you to download them separately which is not a problem unless you don't have internet.

After you select "download" you then have to click on the word download and it runs a batch script that kicks up a GUI to choose your ISO image.

uffbros Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 All that is doing is asking you to point it to your already downloaded .iso..It doesn't download any .iso's....Right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No x86/x64 architecture selection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JollyJack Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 @Stig The means to choose the specific version and architecture is after you select "continue" for either Win10 or Win8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stig Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 Nice one, @JollyJack. I didn't go far enough. This has made Rufus even more useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aksam420 Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Can anyone upload full offline Rufus which does not require an internet connection to download linux system files e.g. "vesamenu.c32" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
