    MicroFormat

    MicroFormat

    A Windows Format Tool for USB and Physical volumes

    A simple Windows tool that can format USB or physical volumes to either NTFS or FAT32. It supports custom Volume names and quick formatting. Done out of boredom and curiosity for practicing purposes. The program will refuse to format the Windows partition. Because the Windows partition is not always C, the check is not hard-coded. Rather, I perform a comparison between the currently selected volume to format and the known System volume. If they match, I trip a flag.

    mkg

    mkg

    MKG automatically authors Gentoo GNU/Linux installers

    MKG automates the installation of the Gentoo GNU/Linux distribution. It follows the official AMD64 install handbook, with a limited number of configuration options. It creates a desktop platform compiled out of the latest available sources in the stable branch. MKG can install Gentoo on a device, and/or create an installation ISO file that holds on a single DVD. MKG also backs up any device into a recovery medium. The output is a direct install to disk and/or an installation medium (ISO file, DVD, or bootable USB stick). MKG target users who would like to experiment with Gentoo. It will also help out users who already know how to install and manage Gentoo, yet forgot to back up their OS for some time and need a fast recovery tool. It will also be appreciated by users who bumped into intractable dependency conflicts and are looking for a quick way out.
