you need to flash a BIOS or other firmware from DOS.

you need to work on a system that doesn't have an OS installed.

you need to create USB installation media from bootable ISOs (Windows, Linux, UEFI, etc.).

It can be especially useful for cases where: A non-exhaustive list of Rufus supported ISOs is available here. It is also marginally faster on the creation of Linux bootable USBs from ISOs.

For instance it's about twice as fast as UNetbootin, Universal USB Installer or Windows 7 USB download tool, on the creation of a Windows 7 USB installation drive from an ISO (with honorable mention to WiNToBootic for managing to keep up). Despite its small size, Rufus provides everything you need! Oh, and Rufus is fast. Single monster download.Rufus is a small utility that helps format and create bootable USB flash drives, such as USB keys/pendrives, memory sticks, etc. Happy as it is.ДЇor example OpenSUSE iso is 4,5Gb+ and it does not matter if you are going to burn it on DVD or write it to USB. When I wrote back that he could just use windows port for DD utility for OpenSUSE and along with it, introduce FreeBSD/OpenBSD img/fs file support, I received no further response.ДЄs is, FreeBSD img files tend to be smaller downloads than iso's. He wrote back that he cannot bring it up to 'date' with newer 13.2 because Novell changed the iso's format different from other linuxes. I used LiLi Linux Loader, some years a go I noticed how OpenSUSE version 'supported' was there pretty ancient (12.1) and wrote the dev about it. For that matter, 'most Linuxes' are IMHO deep behind the curve. OpenSUSE is using hybrid-iso format that you can simply DD to USB or spare SATA disk and it works as installation disk flawlessly. 'We don't need that, anyway' seems too easy an excuse to me.Д¬lick to expand.You could have Linux iso that you do not need any 3rd party tool for, just DD.

So, no software ecology is so perfect that it would not, in any case, benefit from support by third party tools. But as things are, HP - like most other vendors - hide behind the it's too complicated anyway excuse. Having one tool that reliably sorts out this crap and can match whatever the situation demands would have been helpful in many cases. More recent ilos work with bringing the ISO in as a virtual USB device, and I've seen my share of installations hanging not finding that, being too fast or too slow for it to appear, and even completely balking at the device, even though FreeBSD in General always supported it. For instance, booting/installing with HP iLo always was a mess, success depending on iLo type, iLo firmware version, installation file type (more recent ilos support both memstick and ISO), and even file access type (iLo supports mount-from-client image or drive and mount-from-webserver).

For instance, think installation libraries, multi-image install sticks and the like, used in large, living professional environments.ДЇreeBSD's installation process has - certainly in the past - had issues with compatibility. Actually, there are a bunch of uses where more abstract support from 3rd-party tools might be nifty. What I don't understand is why his tool can not simply ask for the memstick version and copy that to the stick.

He's quite content that Grub is everything we all ever need. Basically, you would need to unpack the el torrito floppy image into its parts, rearrange them in a ufs image on the cd, adapt some boot loader settings and then take the rest of the iso image and make them a second ufs image, too.Д«ut hey, Mr Rufus doesn't want to do ufs, bsd boot loader or other such questionable things. It isn't too hard to do that for BSD, too.

That same author is refusing to do likewise for BSD but instead expects BSD to be just like Linux.

#RUFUS ISO REVIEW CODE#

It hat that knowledge because its author invested time to learn how they work and to write code handling them. Rufus dissects and rearranges Linux CDs to make them work from MBR/FAT because it has enough understanding about how they and their boot loader (grub) work. There is no such thing as 'Stick compatible' ISO files.
