Smile Request Advice for multiple Linux Distros on one USB Drive

wilspeak · 03-17-2017, 02:24 AM

I have a (16 GB) USB Drive with Ubuntu installed on it. Can I install another distro on that same USB Drive or do I have to format the USB and then install 2 or 3 distros on that USB drive and when I boot into it how can I choose which distro that I want to use? Thank You all in advance.

Have a look at YUMI - https://www.pendrivelinux.com/yumi-m...t-usb-creator/ - which allows you to place multiple ISOs on the same USB drive and select the one you want through a menu displayed when booting off that USB drive.

+1 ... This is exactly what I use. I have a Verbatim Tuff 'n' Tiny USB drive dangling from my keychain that I keep loaded with up to date distros and recovery tools and such.

Highly recommend the Tuff 'n' Tiny, by the way - it is well named !

Cheers ..
