What is multibootusb?
|
|
|
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
|
MultiBootUSB is a cross platform* software/utility to create multi boot live Linux on a removable media i.e USB disk.
|
|
|
|
|
It is similar to unetbootin but many distros can be installed, provided you have enough space on the disk.
|
|
|
|
|
MultiBootUSB also provides an option to uninstall distro(s) at any time, if you wish.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Only works on windows and linux

How to install?
|
|
|
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The install.py script provided with multibootusb should take care of all dependency and install multibootusb.
|
|
|
|
|
Assume that you have downloaded the package named "multibootusb.tar.gz" in to your home directory.
|
|
|
|
|
Issue the following commands to install multibootusb:-
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
tar -xf ./multibootusb.tar.gz
|
|
|
|
|
cd multibootusb
|
|
|
|
|
chmod +x ./install.py
|
|
|
|
|
sudo ./install.py
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
That is it. You can find multibootusb under system menu or simply launch from terminal by typing "multibootusb".
|
|
|
|
|
If "install.py" script fails to install multibootusb successfully then manually install following packages and rerun the install.py script:-
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* mtools util-linux parted python3-qt5 python-dbus pkexec
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
NOTE: install.py currently supports only distros based on apt-get, yum, zypper, pacman.
|
|
|
|
|
You can add more if you use other package manager system and email to me for adding into upstream.
|
|
|
|
|
The above how to is only for linux. Windows users may download pre compiled standalone binaries/ .exe from
