Hi
about the high risk Casten is talking. A solution could be the
clonezilla way. With the liveCD: inside a ncurses menu your are asked at
some time to insert a USB Stick/Drive to mount. All the drives/parts
that are present before that are not usable as destination in the none
expert selection way. But writing such a thing bug free and
idiot-user-save might not be worth it. There are so few users who need
to supply it on a stick. I think that 99% of the festivals/cinemas will
go download only in the near future. Be it because of ease of use or
because of security:
Inserting send in sticks or disks form unknown (direct from filmmakers)
sources into projection hardware is becoming more and more crazy! There
are the first linux ransomwares out in the open for linux and let's face it
the projection firmware patching process is a crawl!

Hmm. Interesting. A good first step I guess might
be to submit a patch for gparted to allow you to set the inode. Most people of course
prefer a GUI but I only know of command line methods to do it completely by the book with
128 inode value.
One of the bad things of doing this classic style with GPARTED and commandline is that
most users will have a hard time to identify their drives and LINUX' classfication of
devices, block devices, partitions, etc. If they are doing this with a bootable GPARTED on
their standard PC, there is a high risc they could delete their existing partitions.
