@jhketelsen <https://www.openmandriva.org/en/download> "To transfer the live/installation image to an USB storage device you may use: ROSA-imagewriter, KDE isoimagewriter, SUSE Studio ImageWriter, dd command line. Please do not use other usb-writing tools as some Windows tools (e.g. Rufus) truncate the volume name and will break the boot process."
