EtchDroid is an open-source application that helps you write images to USB drives.
You can use it to make a bootable GNU/Linux USB drive when your laptop is dead
and you’re in the middle of nowhere.
Features:
* Supports raw disk images and most GNU/Linux distributions ISOs
* Supports most DMG disk images (beta)
* No root - everything is done within the bounds of the Android API
* Free as in freedom
Planned features:
* Write common GNU/Linux distro in streaming from the Internet without storing it on the device
* Support for Windows installation ISO (will likely require root)
* Support for Unetbootin-style image flashing
