How to Use MultiSystem on Ubuntu to create multiple boot USB Disks
Introduction

Maybe many people do not know MultiSystem, which is a small open-source software used to create multiple boot USB disks in Linux. With this tool, we can create any number of Linux releases that can be started in USB. All you need is a network link (only required when installing MultiSystem) and a USB disk that is large enough, depending on the number of releases you want to add to the USB disk.

Install MultiSystem manually on Ubuntu 14.10/14.04:

Download the MultiSystem script and decompress it to any place. Enter the decompressed address and run the script using the following command.

1. Sudo./install-depot-multisystem.sh

Use PPA for installation:

Of course, you can also use the following command to install MultiSystem by using PPA.

1. Sudo apt-add-repository 'deb http://liveusb.info/multisystem/depot all main'
2. Wget-q-O-http://liveusb.info/multisystem/depot/multisystem.asc | sudo apt-key add-
3. Sudo apt-get update
4. Sudo apt-get install multisystem

After installation, it automatically opens MultiSystem. Click Close to exit.

After installation

After installing MultiSystem, you can insert your USB and run MultiSystem through Unity Dash or menu.

At the first startup, the MultiSystem interface looks like the following.

Select a USB device and click OK. If you see the following error window, don't worry, it means that the USB device has no labels. Click OK to enable MultiSystem to automatically set tags.

Then, unplug/re-insert the USB and run MultiSystem again. Select the USB disk and click "OK" again. Now you are asked to confirm to install Grub2. Click OK to continue.

In the end, you will be happy to see the MultiSystem interface. Now, you need to create a USB disk with multiple boot instances.

Use

MultiSystem is very easy to use. Drag the ISO file to the MultiSystem window. If not, click the cd button at the bottom to select the ISO file.

Now, MultiSystem will copy files from ISO and enable USB to start.
