That's all there is to it. You should now be booting your favorite distributions from your custom Multi-Boot

USB device!

How It Works: YUMI (Your Universal Multiboot Installer) enables each user to create their own custom

Multiboot UFD containing only the distributions they want, in the order by which they are installed. A new

distribution can be added to the UFD each time the tool is run.

If you run YUMI from the same location you store ISO files, they should be auto-detected (*See Known

Issues Below), eliminating the need to browse for each ISO.

Other Notes: If MultibootISOs was previously used, you must reformat the drive and start over. YUMI uses

Syslinux directly, and chainloads to grub only if necessary, so it is not compatible with the older Multiboot

ISO tool. Although I do plan to add back most of the capabilities of MultibootISOs as time permits.

The distro uninstaller works great, but unlisted ISO's that have been added must currently be manually

removed! Also note that not all Unlisted ISO's can be booted (thus adding unlisted ISO's is an unsupported

option).
