-- **Fallback:** Debian testing repository for packages not available in Devuan
-- **Security:** Debian security updates (Devuan security repos removed)
-- **Firmware:** Complete non-free-firmware support
-- **Auto-Update:** Package lists updated automatically during build
-
-## Scripts Overview
-
-### Build Scripts
-- `build.sh` - Main build script with error handling and retry logic
-- `set_root_password.sh` - Set root password for the ISO
-- `insert_openvpn.sh` - Add OpenVPN configuration files
-- `apt-update.hook.chroot` - Automatically updates package lists during build

-
-### USB Creation Scripts
-- `create_usb.bat` - Windows USB creation (Administrator required)
-- `create_usb.sh` - Linux USB creation with dd
-
-### Utility Scripts
-- `generate_logo.sh` - Convert mbet.jpg to boot logos (optional)
-
-## Creating Bootable USB
-
-### Windows (`create_usb.bat`)
-- Lists available disks using diskpart
-- Prompts for disk selection with safety warnings
-- Formats USB as FAT32 and copies ISO contents
-- **Requirements:** Run as Administrator, USB 4GB+, PowerShell enabled
-
-### Linux (`create_usb.sh`)
-- Lists block devices using lsblk
-- Uses `dd` to write ISO directly to USB (fast and reliable)
-- Shows progress during writing
-- **Requirements:** Run with sudo, USB device path (e.g., /dev/sdb)
-
-**Safety Note:** Both scripts include confirmation prompts and warnings about data loss.
-
-## Advanced Customization
-
-### Package Management
-- Edit `config/package-lists/live.list.chroot` to add/remove packages
-- Modify `config/preseed/debian-installer.cfg` for installer settings
-- Update hooks in `config/hooks/live/` for additional configurations
-- `apt-update.hook.chroot` - Automatically updates package lists during build
-
-### Repository Configuration
-- `config/main-config` - Main live-build configuration
-- `config/includes.chroot/etc/apt/sources.list` - System repositories

-
-### Branding
-- Replace logos in `config/includes.chroot/usr/share/`
-- Plymouth theme: `plymouth/themes/default/watermark.png`
-- GRUB theme: `grub/themes/debian/logo.png`
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### Build Issues
-- Ensure you're running on a Debian-based system
-- Check that live-build is properly installed
-- Verify network connectivity for package downloads
-
-### Hardware Issues
-- Most hardware is supported via included firmware packages
-- Additional drivers can be installed post-installation
-- Check `dmesg` for hardware detection issues
-
-### Repository Issues
-- Devuan provides primary packages
-- Debian provides fallback for unavailable packages
-- Both repositories are configured for security updates
-
-## Notes
-- MbetterClient is assumed to be executable and placed in /usr/local/bin/
-- OpenVPN config is set to start automatically if provided
-- Root login is enabled by default for SSH access
-- SysVinit is used instead of systemd for compatibility
-- ISO includes comprehensive firmware for 95%+ hardware compatibility
-- Package lists are automatically updated during build process
-- Dual repository system ensures maximum package availability
-- Devuan security repositories removed (Debian security used instead)
-- All firmware components use correct 'non-free-firmware' naming

+## Prerequisites
+
+### Linux:
+```bash
+# Install Python and Qt dependencies
+sudo apt update
+sudo apt install python3 python3-pip python3-pyqt6 genisoimage
+
+# Install Python dependencies
+pip3 install -r requirements.txt
+```
+
+### Windows:
+```cmd
+# Install Python 3.9+ from python.org
+# Install dependencies
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+
+# Install 7-zip (required for ISO extraction)
+# Download from: https://www.7-zip.org/
+```
+
+## Building Standalone Executable
+
+### Automatic Build:
+```bash
+# Run the build script (installs deps and builds)
+python3 build_usb_creator.py
+```
+
+### Manual Build:
+```bash
+# Install dependencies
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+
+# Build executable
+pyinstaller --clean usb_creator.spec
+```
+
+## Running
+
+### From Source:
+```bash
+# Linux (requires sudo)
+sudo python3 usb_creator_gui.py
+
+# Windows (run as Administrator)
+python usb_creator_gui.py
+```
+
+### Standalone Executable:
+```bash
+# Linux
+sudo ./dist/MBetterUSBCreator
+
+# Windows
+# Right-click → Run as Administrator
+dist\\MBetterUSBCreator.exe
+```
+
+## Features
+
+- ✓ Cross-platform (Linux/Windows)
+- ✓ ISO file selection and validation
+- ✓ USB device auto-detection
+- ✓ Optional root password configuration
+- ✓ Optional OpenVPN config integration
+- ✓ Progress indicators and logging
+- ✓ Safe USB device selection (prevents system disk selection)
+- ✓ Standalone executable (no Python installation required)
+
+## Usage
+
+1. **Select ISO**: Browse for your MBetter ISO file
+2. **Choose USB**: Select target USB device from dropdown
+3. **Configure Password** (Optional): Set custom root password for installed system
+4. **Add VPN Config** (Optional): Include OpenVPN configuration files
+5. **Create USB**: Click to start the USB creation process
+
+The created USB will:
+- Boot to live environment with autologin
+- Automatically start installation process
+- Use your custom root password (if set)
+- Include VPN configuration in installed system (if provided)
+- Work completely offline
