Hello colao,
Strange, the imagewriter package should be in the default repository of openSUSE.
Which version of openSUSE do you use?
And could you post the output of this command:
zypper lr -d
Good luck!

Imagewriter is available in your forth repo.
The only difference with openSUSE 11.3 is that the package is called kiwi-tools-imagewriter.
Good luck!
It’s openSUSE 11.2 and the package name is kiwi-tools-imagewriter.
Hi, newbie here,
thanks for this post, knowing the correct name helped quite a bit.
I’m trying to make a live usb from opensuse 11.3 64bits on my 11.2 machine, followed instructions about the imagewriter and installed the kiwi-tools-imagewriter as listed above.
I cannot however seem to find the kiwi or a differently named imagewriter in the place where step 4 tells me to look: *4. Launch SUSE Studio Image Writer (It’s located in the application menu under Utilities, Archiving, USB Key Writer) *
response from konsole:
zypper install kiwi-tools-imagewriter

any hint will be greatly appreciated! thanks
Hello lennart_duitscher and welcome to the community!
You’ve got the right package installed.
But why the program isn’t in the menu, I don’t know.
Anyway, you can run the program by starting a terminal and running this command:
imagewriter
Good luck!
Hi
The one you have is the command line and it’s called imagewriter. This version doesn’t add a menu entry.
Press alt+F2 and enter;
kdesu imagewriter
Else download the SUSEStudio version here for your arch
