MultiBootUSB is a cross platform* software/utility to create multi boot live Linux on a removable 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

MultiBootUSB allows you to do the following:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Install multiple live Linux and other Operating Systems to a USB disk and make it bootable without erasing existing data.
|
|
|
|
|
2. Ability to uninstall installed OS later.
