Maybe many people don't know about MultiSystem, which is a small open source software used to create multi-boot USB disks in Linux systems. With this tool, we can create as many bootable Linux distributions as we want in USB. All you need is a web link (only for MultiSystem installation) and a large enough USB drive, depending on how many distributions you want to put in the USB drive.

Install MultiSystem on Ubuntu 14.10 Compact 14.04

Manual installation:

Download the MultiSystem script and extract it anywhere. Enter the unzipped address and run the script using the following command.

The code is as follows:

Sudo. / install-depot-multisystem.sh

Install using PPA:

Of course, you can also use the following command to more easily use PPA to install MultiSystem.

The code is as follows:

Sudo apt-add-repository 'deb http://liveusb.info/multisystem/depot all main'

Wget-Q-O-http://liveusb.info/multisystem/depot/multisystem.asc | sudo apt-key add-

Sudo apt-get update

Sudo apt-get install multisystem

After installation, it automatically opens MultiSystem. Just click the close button to exit.

After installation

After the MultiSystem installation is complete, you can insert your USB and run MultiSystem through Unity Dash or menu.

When you start for the first time, the MultiSystem interface will look like this.

Select the USB device and click the confirm button. If you see the error window below, don't worry, it says that USB devices don't have tags. Click OK to let MultiSystem set the label automatically.

So, unplug / reinsert USB and run MultiSystem again. Select the USB disk and click OK again. Now, you are asked to confirm that Grub2 is installed in USB. Click OK to continue.

Eventually, you will be happy to see the interface of MultiSystem. Now it's time to create a multi-boot USB disk.

Use

MultiSystem is very easy to use. Drag the ISO file into the MultiSystem window. If not, click the cd button at the bottom to select the ISO file.

MultiSystem now copies the file from ISO and makes USB bootable.

Similarly, you can add as many distributions as you want to your USB. I joined two Linux distributions this time: CentOS 6. 5 and Android.

After adding the ISO file, you will see a list of bootable distributions in the main window of MultiSystem.

okay. Our multi-boot USB disk is ready to use. Restart the system and set USB priority startup in BIOS. Select the distribution you want to install and start installing the system.

In addition, MultiSystem contains some other options:

Grub Settin

Bootloader updates for Grub and Burg

Download LiveCD

VirtualBox installation

Format USB disk

There are more options.

These extra options can be seen in the menu tab of MultiSystem.

Similarly, you can test a multi-boot USB disk with QEMU or Oracle VirtualBox in Ubuntu.

The MultiSystem tool is the best and most useful tool I've tested so far. You don't have to take a CD/ DVD bag with you when you go out.

And the good news for Windows system users is that it also supports Windows systems. I tested it on Windows 7, and it works!

At this point, the study on "how to make a multi-boot USB disk in Ubuntu" is over. I hope to be able to solve your doubts.
