Introduction

Having a 32G UFD used to boot a 700MB Debian install is not really the most efficient thing to do and flashing a new iso every time you want to change install image neither. This page is here to solve this problem by tutoring how do install and use Multisystem which is a software allowing you to boot from multiple image installed on one UFD.

Requirement

• ubuntu 12.04 (only works on systems with apt-get)
• xterm
• usb stick formated in FAT32 with non spaced label

Add images to the drive

• insert a usb stick (better let it be automounted as the mount point should be /media/<label>)
• Launch the software: Multisystem
• select the USB device to use and click Validate
• drag and drop the images you want to add.
• restart your system and select the distro you want to boot from.
