It works but there could be a few things smoothen out. Since it is a 
command line app, there isn't any time to see a confirmation of success 
and the window automatically closes.

If you attempt to write again, the file overwrite options don't make it 
clear that the USB has already been setup unlike when you run in Fedora. 
  If it is FAT16 formatted, the command bails out and doesn't provide 
any choices. It claims NTFS is unrecognized and only works well with 
FAT32. A graphical app would be way better if it can be done but a very 
good start nevertheless. Congrats.
