YUMI-0.0.9.7 Use Tthis to install ISO to USB stick

For those that want to experiment with Linux in order to play with Enigma2 on the Raptor, attached is a great little installation program that runs from Windows. Most of the Linux versions also have the Windows equivalent of word processors, spreadsheets, media players and centers, file managers, partition managers, text editors, telnets, vlc players and much, much more to experiment.

YUMI will load and install any ISO file to a usb stick and make it bootable. I use an inexpensive, 16gb, usb 2.0 stick made by Team model C125 and loaded four versions of Linux (see attached pix #3) with room to load many, many more versions. Each version has it's own flavor to play with. It boots up very, very fast, leaves a cd version in the dust. So, if you want to play and not harm your current system, this is the way to go. Just be sure your current motherboard is capable of booting from a usb stick and never use the FORMAT DISK command by accident!

Picture 1 is the main menu, 2 is the supported Linux versions it can make bootable and 3 is the Linux versions I loaded on my usb stick. Do a google search for the exact version listed in picture 2 that you would like to experiment with, download it and you're ready to install to the usb stick.

Have fun and enjoy playing with the different operating systems.

Here's the latest version 0.1.0.6 with added Iso's to the long list of items available for installation.

Latest version with log.

How to Create a MultiBoot USB Flash Drive (Windows)

Run* YUMI-2.0.2.2.exe following the onscreen instructions
Run the tool again to Add More ISOs/Distributions to your Drive
Restart your PC setting it to boot from the USB device
Select a distribution to Boot from the Menu and enjoy!

That's all there is to it. You should now be booting your favorite distributions from your custom Multi-Boot USB device!

How It Works: YUMI (Your Universal Multiboot Installer) enables each user to create their own custom Multiboot UFD containing only the distributions they want, in the order by which they are installed. A new distribution can be added to the UFD each time the tool is run.

If you run YUMI from the same location you store ISO files, they should be auto-detected (*See Known Issues Below), eliminating the need to browse for each ISO.

Other Notes: If MultibootISOs was previously used, you must reformat the drive and start over. YUMI uses Syslinux directly, and chainloads to grub only if necessary, so it is not compatible with the older Multiboot ISO tool. Although I do plan to add back most of the capabilities of MultibootISOs as time permits.

Not all Unlisted ISO's can be booted (thus adding Unlisted ISOs is an UNSUPPORTED option).
