IsoDumper is a tool for writing ISO images on an USB stick. Iso images are for example provided by Mageia.org to install the Linux distribution.
Here is an extract of the wiki page https://wiki.mageia.org/en/IsoDumper_Writing_ISO_images_on_USB_sticks
You are supposed to have first downloaded the ISO image on your system. You must select a USB stick with a size bigger that the image size.
The tool will check something before writing:
- the partition of the USB device is unmounted
- the size of the ISO should be smaller than the size of the stick
- if the size of the stick is greater than 32 Go, a warning asks to confirm that this is the good device
