I ususally use Easy2boot or Multi system

Both are fine. Easy2boot needs contigous files and needs sometimes to be
defragmented with a virtual window machine (JK Defrag)
Multisystem has its own management interface installable on any Ubuntu
distro, and is going to be my favorite.
Patrice: GREAT TIP. I tried Multisystem and it worked very well. Others have
failed for me, including tuxboot. I installed Multiboot using the method
described here:

My first attempt at finding a source led to a non-English page. The one cited
is in English.
Parenthetically, there are some unneeded steps specified at the above site -
after the addition of the ppa to the repository list. apt-get update does
things specified in earlier steps.
I did find that one has to be sure and be patient while some steps are
in-progress, e.g., loading iso components onto a thumb drive - there are not
progress indicators and it might appear to some that the install has hung. No,
it's just processing, probably writing the larger files from the Knoppix iso.
I made a Knoppix thumb drive. The attempt had failed on three different thumb
drives but it worked fine on my first try. Knoppix boots in ~ 15 sec on my
laptop, which has an I7 processor.
Thanks again for a great tip.

I've had mixed success booting from thumb drives. CDs / DVDs have worked
better, even when booting from an external drive via USB.

Hi,
Okay OT but someone here must know. I've never been able to create a
bootable thumb drive from iso using unetbootin. Specifically, I need to
make a dban thumb drive to wipe a netbook (no cd drive). unetbootin
gives me a menu of scripts on bootup. This menu is useless. Seems that
a lot of the thumb drive creation software is written as windows
software for windows users who want to create a bootable linux distro
iso. That doesn't help me. Better ideas?
Thanks
Jordan
