Hello Linux Geeksters. As you may know, MintStick, a graphical interface for the DD tool (disk dump), that allows the user to create bootable pendrives or memory cards, of their favourite Linux distro. The tool will also come with a USB Stick Formatter function which is also integrated in the Nemo and Dolphine file manger, in order to help the user format the pendrive / memory card as FAT, NTFS, EXT3, EXT4 or any other format.
The latest version available is MintStick 1.2.1, which has been released a while ago.
In this article I will show you how to install MintStick 1.2.1 on Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty Tahr, Pinguy OS 14.04, Elementary OS 0.3 Freya, LXLE 14.04, Linux Lite 2.0, Deepin 2014, Peppermint Five and other Ubuntu 14.04 derivative systems.
Because it is available via PPA, installing MintStick 1.2.1 on Ubuntu 14.04 and derivative systems is easy. All you have to do is add the ppa to your system, update the local repository index and install the mintstick package. Like this:
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:tsvetko.tsvetkov/trusty-backports
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install mintstick
Optional, to remove mintstick, do:
$ sudo apt-get remove mintstick
