Re: Thumbos - Load disk images to your thumbdrive
Posted: Sat Mar 22, 2014 2:06 pm
I must reiterate, I am not saying thumbos is bad. I am just saying that yesterday I installed 3 operating systems, one of those being Ultimate Edition 3.8, on a netbook that I am giving to a friend. I used Ultimate Edition 3.5, I used gparted first to clear the usb and reset to a clean ext2 partition. First I wrote diamondllbkde for utilities to set up the partitions the way I wanted on the netbook, then I wrote Backbox to the USB, then Ultimate Edition 3.8, then I finished it all of with another rewrite of diamondllbkde to the USB so the last install would come up first without fidgeting with GRUB. That is 4 live O.S. installs without a single error. So why does everyone hate on startup disk creator?
I should also mention usb-imagewriter as well if you are using SD, although I am not so sure on the status of this program as of 13.04 and above. This is one of the reasons I use 3.5, since as a system for utilizing multiple functions for various installation operations it has become rather invaluable. usb-imagewriter is particularly helpful for SOC that utilise the SD card. Otherwise I just end up using dd and crossing my fingers.
