   Isodumper (a tool for writing ISO images to a USB stick) is listed in   
   the package manager of Mageia 9, in the Mageia Control Center MCC, also   
   known as Rpmdrake, which is the Mageia package management tool.   
      
   There's isodumper-gtk and isodumper-qt   
      
   Current version is 1.56.1.mga9.
