NAME

cloneTo16GsimulatedDrive - Creates a file weighing 14 GiB, which would fit on any '16 GB' memory stick, with an ISO image, plus the persistence feature.

SYNOPSIS

cloneTo16GsimulatedDrive ISO IMG

DESCRIPTION

cloneTo16GsimulatedDrive allows one to copy the contents of an ISO file to a plain IMG file, and add some additional structure:

a VFAT partition (sized 1 GB)

This partition may be used for data exchange. Windows7 used to recognize such a partiton, Windows10 and Windows11 don't.

an EXT4 partition

this partition is there to feature persistence of data. When all structures are in place, the size of the IMG file is 14 GiB, so it can be burnt onto any '16BG' memory stick. Bigger sizes of memory sticks are of course valid.
