I recommend reading the documentation on the project site and related manpages ( grub-install, grub-mkimage).Įdit 1: I extended my answer to a similar question a while ago.
Most of the other solutions are MBR/legacy PC specific and don't work reliably on UEFI machines. You can also create UEFI bootable USB drives this way or combine both methods. You can loop mount isofiles directly with GRUB2 by installing it to the MBR of the USB drive. I hope it is enough information but there is a lot more info on this blog. And you can set this up on a hard disc or a USB flash drive. If you look at them image you can choose distro's or download ISO's yourself and add them or add a custom. Support amongst others: Ubuntu (and official derivatives) 8.04 LTS 9.10 10.04 LTS 10.10 11.04 Daily CD Images, Fedora 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, Rawhide and lots lots more.
iso file if you've already downloaded one or your preferred distribution isn't on the list. You can either let UNetbootin download one of the many distributions supported out-of-the-box for you, or supply your own Linux. UNetbootin allows you to create bootable Live USB drives for Ubuntu, Fedora, and other Linux distributions without burning a CD.
Choose burn image option from your favorite image burning software to write multicd.iso file. If it exceeds more than 700 mb then you must insert DVD to write it. Check the size of multicd.iso image file. While executing, this script will download few packages from Internet and make a new iso image called multicd.iso for you inside multicd folder. Open terminal and give the following commandsĪbove commands will execute multicd.sh. Put all the live Linux iso images along with multicd.sh script inside multicd folder. Create a folder in your home folder and name it as multicd.
It is really very simple to create multi Live Linux distro in a single disc.
"After googling around for few days i found this useful script from Multicd.sh is a shell script written by maybewa圓6 which enables two or more Live Linux distros / utilities to be able to boot from single CD/DVD.
It must support Windows Images and Linux Images.Īlternatively, is there also a way to have multiple versions of the Ubuntu installation ISO on same USB Drive, such as, when booting from it, I get to choose what Ubuntu version and architecture to install, for example: What method exists that I can use step by step to create a bootable USB Drive with multiple images than can be booted from the USB and selected from GRUB. If it allows more systems and multiple ISOs it would be awesome) The default Startup Disk Creator only works with Linux Images and only 1 at a time (At least for the mean time.
I have several ISO images that I want to install in the USB like Ubuntu, Fedora, System Rescue CD, Windows XP and Windows 7 (The windows versions are optional, mostly am looking for a multi installer for Linux distros, specially Ubuntu version) What I want is to create a bootable pen drive that shows GRUB menu and I can select any of the several bootable systems from there to install/run.
