Has Rufus been ported?

mikethe1wheelnut

This is more of a request for confirmation than a question. Somehow I thought that rufus, particularly for a community like this, would be considered standard software. But I have not found it in the ports-portal, or in fresh-ports. As for finding it in the most obvious place, Administration->Software-Station, .. it is still syncing with the repositories.. it's been doing this for what seems like an hour. ..maybe that's normal.. ..there will be a lot of packages..

My apologies, I am realizing I asked the wrong question. What I was actually looking for (tbd if I've found it), was how is a bootable usb-key created "the bsd way". here is one answer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bK3lwDGrjKY . When I asked, I was, mentally, still in windows/ubuntu/gui world. That's what I'm doing here, exploring this new one, getting used to how things are done here :-) -not that plenty of things [perhaps all] in ubuntu world aren't done with the command-line..

oh wow..

"System Requirements:

Windows 8 or later. Once downloaded, the application is ready to use."

..obviously I have never used rufus. because if I had tried, I would have known that it only works with windows. And even linux forums and help pages suggest alternatives. I used ventoy seeing as I tested out multiple os's way-back-when, then stuck with it, cause why not :-)

Ventoy is good and does work with Ghostbsd.
dd if=_ghostbsd.iso bs=1m progress=status of=/dev/d0 simple data destroyer example.
