Hi everybody, I have realized that many of you who are active at the Lubuntu mail forums and the Ubuntu Forums need dual- or multi-boot for your linux distro/flavour. So I have made a release candidate of the One Button Installer (to become version 1.2), that can do it, not by itself, but together with gparted.
1 - Edit and create partitions with gparted 2 - Install a tarball with the OBI to partitions, that are selected automatically or manually. ----- Basic and advanced OBI level Most users are recommended to use the *basic* OBI level. This means that the OBI will install a system from a tarball into a whole device, typically an internal hard disk drive or a USB 3 pendrive. In the *advanced* level the OBI will let you select the partitions. It means that you can install a system from a tarball into two partitions, one root file partition and one swap partition. This way it is possible to create a *dual boot* device with an existing (already installed) operating system. It is also possible to create a separate *data partition*, that can be used by linux as well as Windows. The intention with the advanced level is to edit and create partitions with *Gparted* (booted from a 'regular' boot CD/DVD/USB device). One partition is labelled 'obi-root' and one (smaller) partition is labelled 'obi-swap'. Such partitions can be identified and selected automatically in the advanced level, but manual selection is also possible. ----- You find it here: http://phillw.net/isos/one-button-installer/rc/ If you test the advanced OBI level, please tell me what is bad, confusing or buggy, so that I can improve it!
