[SOLVED] Comfortable Installation

[riser]

I've used MultiBoot as well to create a USB key with multiple OSes (windows and various Linux flavors)

Just throwing in my two cents on YUMI here:


I love love loved YUMI when I first started experimenting with multiple distros, and the live disks YUMI created were always perfect as far as working live boots went. Eight or nine out of eleven worked great. I finally committed and installed Linux Mint about a year and a half ago, promptly broke it, then installed LL v 1.0.6 with a YUMI key and haven't looked back.


I was going to try installing with YUMI again this time around, but ended up going with Unetbootin and Rufus to create the keys I needed. YUMI warns it's only for live disk booting, and any installation that actually works should be considered a happy accident. But I'm hoping the code keeps evolving so I can try it again in the future


Anyways just chiming in

Hello!

Installed the Linux of version of YUMI. By the time dependencies are installed, it takes up 220 MB of drive space.

Since the Windows version is 2-3 MB tops, I think I'll keep using YUMI in Windows...

Not tried it yet, but the YUMI people have a Multiboot Creator application for Linux also.

Hello!

I install both Windows and Linux off flash drives prepared with YUMI all the time. No issues here...

I've never tried multi-booting on a DVD, but have used LiveUSB MultiBoot on several occations and it works pretty well.  Site is in French, but there is a Google Translate button on it so you can change if need to.

I'd md5sum check the downloads before trying anything 1st. That is just how I roll though.

One that I have used in the past has been YUMI http://www.pendrivelinux.com/yumi-multiboot-usb-creator/


Have used it to create LL installs in the past with booting options for MINT and Kubuntu, all on the same flash drive. However the site warns that it is simply for booting into Live distros, not for actual installing (though I have done this with multiple distros with minimal issues. it just takes trial and error).

I've never tried this myself. Apparently, there is a script that can do that. Here is the link http://multicd.tuxfamily.org/
Edit: No, it doesn't work with Linux Lite.
I would try sarducd like scott(0) mentioned.

Hi cjc_test,

I have no personal experience with this one but it looks promising:
Multiple Linux Live in one USB or DVD multiboot

It's been years since I've used products from this site but from what I can remember they worked well. I'm not sure if they offer a DVD option, maybe only multi USB.

Hello all

I'd find LL very interesting, and I'd download it both versions allready (32 and 64bits).  I plan to install it (or try it) on diferents systems and I had see that ISOs are small enoght to fit in one dvd.  So I want to ask to someone, if there is a way to prepare a DVD with both installations?

Thank you.
