HOWTO create a multiboot usb stick of your puppies

#1 Post by watchdog »

Using gparted create as many you want partitions (I used FAT32) in a usb stick, one each the puppies you want to boot. Install the puppies in each partition with unetbootin. See:

http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=71455

I used in slacko 5.5 the command:

Code: Select all

/path-to/unetbootin-linux-584 installtype=USB targetdrive=/dev/sdbx
where sdbx is the partition where you install a puppy.
From:

http://www.plop.at/en/ploplinux/download.html

download the Plop cd and boot it. Install Plop boot manager to the usb stick.
Boot the usb stick. Take attention. The HDA1 entry in plop menu will be your usb stick and it has a linked partition to boot. You can change the linked partition to boot going in Setup-Profiles and boot the desired puppy.
