[Lethal]

Here is a guide for installing multiple operating systems on one USB. It's quite easy to follow and maybe you'll find that perfect one!Yumi DownloadOpen the program and you'll be left with a window like below

​

Pick the OS you want to use (There is a list of all OS + Other tools for scanning for hardware /software issues)
You can download the ISO of the OS you want to use from the program so no need to search.​

2)Once you're ready with the ISO, click Create
It will begin to copy the ISO you've selected/downloaded onto the USB. Once the program is finished you're done.

Some OS won't work on this as they need a standalone USB but the majority will run perfectly

This is brilliant, thanks @Lethal.

If I may ask, what USB brand do you recommend as I can imagine not all USBs would be equal for this task.

Used unetbootin for linux distro installation, for others o.s. Universal Usb Installer it's a good tool to do it. Thanks for reporting

Guys; I did write an article more than a year ago about making a MULTI-LINUX boot flash drive that is REALLY comfortable. What do I mean by that?

1) Download ISO of any Linux you like to try.
2) Drop to /img folder on the USB Flash. Remove flash.
3) Insert flash into the PC you like to boot. Start. THAT'S IT!

Of course; before you have to prepare your USB flash; but it's done ONCE! After; you just drop ISOs to the img folder and insert flash to another PC.

The article was originally in Russian but it's really easy to understand and see the steps. Or you might just navigate to github repo of "uberimg".

# How it works?
Uberimg is just a small cut-out from Super Grub Boot Disc 2 (boot recovery disk) with nice ISOLOOPBACK script. This script helps GRUB2 to search for ISOs in specific folder and; if found; add them to the menu. After that; you pick a records from the menu and the distro starts.

I use this flash daily. The only problem that it mostly boots DEB distros and has some difficulties with others because they don't include the isoloopback cfg file; but at most; you can have 10-20-30 linux images working in one flash with nice & dynamically build menu; which is nice!

Hope this was useful! PM me with questions and good luck everybody!

Cool guide on duel booting! However, I would recommend against this.

It eats up your drive having multiple OS's on it
