Hello!

You're welcome.

Thank YOU, for your desire to makee a positive contribution to the LL distribution. In MY eyes, that's a BIG part of what it's all about,and could very well help others later.

Thank you very much, N4RPS. I'll give a try to that linux-magazine solution.

By the time, I succeeded making singleboot USB stick using 'dd' command.

sudo dd if=/media/path_to/debian-live-7.4-i386-xfce-desktop.iso of=/dev/path_to_USB_stick bs=1M

It works just fine.

I noticed that LL use usb-imagewriter-0.1.3, but the last version is 0.1.99. I know, for instance, that Point Linux (http://pointlinux.org/) use the last one and is working fine. I thinh I can compile 'usb-imagewriter-0.1.99' from source on LL too, but I'm just too lazy to do it for now...  ::)

I'm glad I did the job with 'dd' and that's OK. Today.  :)

Best wishes!

Hello!

Welcome to Linux Lite. UIAM, Unetbootin onlys allows the creation of one bootable ISO per stick. In Windows, I usually use YUMI for multiboots or LinuxLive for single ones, but found this multiboot creator for Linux:

Next time I need to create a multiboot, I'll try doing this in LL, and get back to you...

Thank you very, very much, Scot! I will keep on trying, and, if I'll find a solution I'll put it here.

Best wishes!

I personally use UNetbootin in Linux Lite 1.0.8 (installed via Synaptic) and it works well. Not 100% of the time, maybe 80-90%.

After installing UNetbootin there was a bug where it would keep asking for the administrator password in a loop. It wouldn't accept any value. Here's the fix I used:

Open a terminal
   Type: gksu-properties
   When the little GUI pops up make sure "sudo" is selected, not "su," as the authentication code.


On the Windows side I used these utilities in the past:
Your Universal Multiboot Installer (YUMI)
Universal USB Installer
The two above come from Pen Drive Linux http://www.pendrivelinux.com/. This site has lots of great information.

Good Luck,
Scott
