[opensuse-factory] What's the best alternative to Multisystem?
Unfortunately, the Multisystem program that allows one to easily create a USB drive with multiple live-ISO images can only be installed on Debian-based systems. http://liveusb.info/dotclear/index.php?pages/install Is there an alternative for rpm-based systems anyone can recommend that also allows one to easily install and run multiple ISOs on a USB drive?

There was an openSUSE GSOC (Google Summer of Code) 2014 project called "Cool Live Flash". It was to allow multiple live ISOs as I recall. Not sure what happened to it.

Seems like a dead project. I can't find any other reference to it other than the GSoC page.

Bye.
Seems to work, and more importantly, can be installed straight from the repositories. Looks like additional ISOs have to be patched in beyond the limited number. Thanks

I have found live-fat-stick to be an easy alternative to Multisystem. In fact I rather prefer the straightforwardness of the CLI interface. Cool-Live-Flash is an incomplete project unfortunately.

Yes, though I was pointed to the github page, which shows the command is as easy as: live-fat-stick isopath stickpartition Being able to install it from the repos is a huge plus. P.S. Previous email was blocked by the list rules for some reason.

Yes. Daniele was the one who mentioned it.

There is GUI frontend to live-fat-stick as well: https://software.opensuse.org/package/live-usb-gui -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Thanks for the fantastic program Jigish! I tried the GUI interface, but no offense intended, it could do with a bit of sprucing up. I rather like the elegance of the CLI interface though.

Yeah, GUI is just for the people who want point/click, feel free to fork and send in better GUI :) I've just added live-grub-stick, which may work with sticks formatted with any filesystem supported by grub2. You'd have to get it from https://github.com/cyberorg/live-fat-stick as it is not packaged yet.

I am terrible at art and hope a kindly artist-developer Santa will visit upon you this Christmas. ;-) Thanks for the info on live-grub-stick. I'll check it out. Best wishes! Ju Ping.

Here it is on GitHub. https://github.com/zsoltpeterbasak/OpenSUSE-Cool-Live-Flash The Readme claims the project works, but there are some glitches. Greg -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Thanks. I will give it a shot and compare it to live-fat-stick. Strange that it has the openSUSE branding but is not found in the repositories though.

Looks like live-fat-stick is the best alternative so far on openSUSE. CLF really is an uncompleted project. The instructions even say # FILE IS STILL UNTESTED! DO NOT RUN IT YET. # BUT YOU CAN USE THE COMMANDS (COPY-PASTE STYLE).
