Public bug reported:
These days a typical flash drive has much larger capacity than a typical
OS iso image. It's a shame to waste all the extra space just to load a
single OS image. It would be nice to add an option to copy the OS image
to a specific partition of the flash drive instead. I've been doing this
manually so far, but would prefer a simple UI for it. Aside from
installing the bootsector, you also need to toggle the boot flag on the
desired partition. This also allows a single flash drive to be used to
switch between multiple OS images, just by setting the boot flag on the
particular partition.
