MultiBoot is an application similar to the MultiCD script which we wrote a while back, except MultiBoot comes with a GUI so is somewhat easier to use for non-technical users.

What MultiBoot does is allows you to make a live USB with multiple Linux distributions. A list of supported Linux distributions can be found HERE.


To install MultiBoot in Ubuntu, simply paste this in a terminal:
wget http://liveusb.info/MultiBoot-v3/install-depot-multiboot.sh.tar.bz2
tar -xvf install-depot-multiboot.sh.tar.bz2
sudo ./install-depot-multiboot.sh


Of crouse, you may want to check out the script before running it. The last command will run the installer.

Once installed, you can access it via the Applications > Accessories > Multi System menu item.


To use MultiBoot, you will need a FAT32 formatted USB memory stick. Then, running MultiBoot will display the following screen:

multiboot


Where you must select the USB drive and after clicking "Validate", you can start adding the ISO images to your multi-boot USB using drag and drop:

multiboot
