[SOLVED] How do I install unetbootin on mageia?

[otto]

Dear mageia buddies,
I like best grafical installs to the usb like unebootin and mandriva seed. How do I install the unebootin on mageia?I have read unebotin it’s on mageia medias (repositories), but I coudn’t make it. Is It on mageia development?I’ve heard It’s possible to install mandriva seed on mageia by the terminal as rooter like this:

code:

wget ftp://ftp.free.fr/mirrors/ftp.mandriva. ... va-seed.sh

or like this by downloading it at http://linux4us.org/mdv_seed.php
But I like best to use the mageia way?
Who knows the exact code to install the unebootin on mageia? Why we don't have available "the mageia seed" or something else like mandriva seed too?
I appreciate your hints as soon as possible.
Cheers.

Unetbootin is available in MCC, install and remove software - i.e. via existing repos.

You shouldn't use unetbootin as it will damage the Mageia boot images. Please take a look at one of those links:

Thanks. But It doesn't work because It wasn't available in MCC.
cheers.

What do you mean? After you installed it id did not work?
It can not work with Mageia ISOs, if that's what you mean.

I searched It in MCC, install and remove software - i.e. via existing repos, the word "unebootin", but the reply was negative after the search. BTW, do you know how do install it via the terminal?
cheers.

Yes, that's true and not surprising because the correct name is 'unetbootin'
(as dyfi and doktor already wrote)

In console:
- become root
- as root type 'urpmi unetbootin'

With the default selection "Packages with GUI" it wouldn't even be found when correctly spelled

That's weird because it IS a package with GUI (providing a GUI is its main purpose!)
Wrong tag somewhere?

Thanks.Solved! I misspelled the unetbootin.I forgot to use my glasses.But It would be a good idea mageia import the "mandriva seed" to become the "mageia seed".I appreciated both help buddies.
Cheers.

Maybe i've mistook unetbootin for something else ...

unetbootin is a GUI similar to mandriva-seed but offers more options and is for non-hybrid ISOs.

I know what unetbootin was made for, but oh my, how could i even assume *buntu users would use a non-GUI tool
