USB-bootable image generating script?

Post by Mna. »

Just wondering, to create USB-bootable image of ReactOS, one should read and manually proceed with instructions at:
Installing ReactOS >> Install from USB
https://reactos.org/wiki/Installing_Rea ... _USB_media

This instruction is pretty detailed and seems a solid one,
Why nobody taken and packed in into one or two bash/python/powershell/whatever scripts, doing this same thing automatic way?

If done properly it can generate images fully automatic way,
possibly enabling some small tweaks from command line.
And then that USB-bootable image could be hosted at Download page of ReactOS.

The only possible source of problem, as it seems to me is the external Rufus tool,
("Rufus - Create bootable USB drives the easy way")
But it also can be called as a sub-script in a main script. (Ultimately, Rufus even can be converted to library API, something like libRufus, and be called from main script but even this step is not necessary)

I dont get the reasoning here. Rufus IS automatic. You give a ISO to it and get a working USB boot stick? Where is the problem?
ReactOS is still in alpha stage, meaning it is not feature-complete and is recommended only for evaluation and testing purposes.

If my post/reply offends or insults you, be sure that you know what sarcasm is...
