Topic: Multisystem

Multisystem is a very useful app that allows you to easily create a multiboot USB stick or SD card. I previously installed it when using Ubuntu and it worked perfectly. I tried to run the installation scripts on the site http://liveusb.info/dotclear/ without any luck. Fortunately I came across an article at http://www.linux-magazine.com/Online/Bl … ultiSystem which did the trick.

Add the following repository

deb http://liveusb.info/multisystem/depot all main

And install the app with the following: 

wget -q http://liveusb.info/multisystem/depot/multisystem.asc -O- | sudo apt-key add -
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install multisystem

Lastly add your user to the "adm" group by editing the /etc/group file. 

 sudo gedit /etc/group

I know this is pretty simple but it took me a long time to find it and hopefully someone else will find this useful.

This really is a distro-hoppers best friend. big_smile

Re: Multisystem

I was able to install Multisystem but it refused to run. After googling I found the solution for the issue. You got to add your user to fuse group and reboot.
