Before the days of hybrid ISOs, unetbootin had it's usefulness. To my knowledge today, Debian, openSUSE, and the *buntu ISOs are hybrid i.e. you can simple dd=ISO_file to a pendrive or a hard disk and it will boot! No need for unetbootin. Besides, I have found unetbootin works best with with *bunutu. It fails to create a bootable install disk from the CentOS.ISO images. > 1. create partitions on the pen/thumb drive. > 2. copy different installable iso's onto thus created different partitions > of thumb drive. > 3. load oses from those partitions of the thumb drive. > 4. partions of the thumb drive have non-similar file systems (e.g. if one > partition is formatted btrfs, the other one could be ext4/3, and another one > could be beos or something different. Take a look at how the SystemRescueCD does this with isolinux; i.e. support multiple functionality through the boot menu. <http://www.sysresccd.org/> -- Arun Khan Sent from my non-iphone/non-android device (অরুণ খান্/अरुण खान) _______________________________________ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List
