UNetbootin


UNetbootin is a cross-platform utility that can create live USB systems and can load a variety of system utilities or install various Linux distributions and other operating systems without a CD.

Modes

USB install

This installation mode creates bootable USB flash drives and bootable USB Hard Disk Drives; it is a Live USB creator.
Multiple installs on the same device are not supported.

Hard drive install

This installation mode performs a network installation or "frugal install" without a CD, similar to that performed by the Win32-Loader.
UNetbootin's distinguishing features are its support for a great variety of Linux distributions, its portability, its ability to load custom disk image files, and its support for both Windows and Linux. Unlike Wubi, and similar to the Win32-Loader, when installing to hard disk, UNetbootin installs to a partition, not a disk image, thus creating a dual-boot setup between Linux and Windows.
