What's new

  • Compressed file mode: a new Boot selection option, "Compressed file - extract to drive". Rufix formats the drive with the file system you choose, then extracts a .zip, .7z, .rar or .tar.* archive onto it.
    • Zip and tar work out of the box; 7z and RAR need 7-Zip (7zip or p7zip-full; unrar also works for RAR).
    • The archive is checked before anything is erased: files over 4 GB on FAT32, archives too big for the drive, password-protected zips and unsafe paths are refused up front.
    • Extraction runs with your own user rights, not as root.
  • The chosen file now shows as Selected file: '…' under the boot selection, and the boot selection entries keep their titles.
  • Running Rufix from a source checkout now uses its own root helper, even when a packaged Rufix is installed.
  • README now has screenshots.

Install

  • Debian / Ubuntu / Linux Mint / Pop!_OS: sudo apt install ./rufix_0.3.0_all.deb
  • Flatpak: flatpak install --user ./rufix-0.3.0-x86_64.flatpak
  • Any distro: tar xzf rufix-0.3.0.tar.gz && cd rufix-0.3.0 && sudo ./install.sh
