YUMI (Your Universal Multiboot Installer) can be used to create a multi-boot USB flash drive containing multiple operating systems, antivirus utilities, disc cloning, diagnostic tools and more. Aside from a few distributions, all files are stored within the Multiboot folder, making for a nicely organized Multiboot Drive that can still be used for other storage purposes. YUMI uses syslinux to boot extracted distributions stored on the USB device and reverts to using grub to Boot Multiple ISO files from USB, if necessary.

YUMI works much like Universal USB Installer, except it can be used to install more than one distribution to run from your USB. Distributions can also be uninstalled.

BEWARE: just in case you haven't noticed, v1.9.9.0 is in fact v2 Beta, and not fully compatible with previous versions (latest v1 is v0.1.1.0, still available for download from YUMI's webpage)...

I've been using this instead of Unetbootin and LinuxLive USB Creator (LiLi) for the last 6 months or so. Not as pretty at LiLi but its fantastic being able to easily add multiple Linux distros and even Windows Installs onto a single flash drive.

I use YUMI in conjunction with 'Command Prompt Here' and 'WGET for Windows'...

If I don't already have the relevant ISO file, I let YUMI open the respective download page, find the download link, and right-click to copy it;

Then I right-click the folder where I launched YUMI from (but any folder will work) to open a local command console and simply write "wget " and right-click again to paste the download link -- WGET will proceed to download really fast (no GUI overhead) and is intelligent enough to follow Sourceforge mirror redirectors, for example...

Point YUMI to the downloaded file and let it do its thing; when done, just delete the file if you have no use for it.

Final note: to have WGET available system wide, put the exe somewhere in your path (%WINDIR% is the easiest); options can easily be set with a 'wget.ini' placed alongside.
