suggestion, just create a file and make it executable that includes all your options echo sudo dd if=CentOS-6.10-x86_64-LiveDVD.iso of=/dev/sdc bs=4096 conv=fsync> $HOME/bin/ddforCent put $HOME/bin in your $PATH you could make several versions, with differing options ddforSomesituation, ddforforsomeothersitutation etc The last thing the world needs is another conf file, with its documentation
