Install the app cd /tmp wget http://liveusb.info/customultiboot-v2/cust...boot-v2.tar.bz2 tar xjf customultiboot-v2.tar.bz2 rm customultiboot-v2.tar.bz2 cd customultiboot-v2 sudo ./install.sh press ok to any pop ups that appear in french, they are asking to install the prereqs 3. slight modification to fix an error with the partion creation nano /usr/local/share/customultiboot-v2/multiboot/multiboot.sh press CTRL + W search for 512o and replace all instances with 512B once finsihed CTRL + o and enter to save launch application from desktop clcik preferences and change default language to english (or language of your choosing) and change the other options which i beleibe are keyboard and regioanl settings then press Sauvegarder to save your settings Hey presto English Thats the install finished. Now for creating the multiboot. the application will only add distros that are in its supported list. the supported list can be found here. http://translate.google.fr/translate?u=htt...fr&ie=UTF-8 Now how to make our Multipass Click the dvd/usb button click create multiboot press green arrow Depending on the size of your USB key the persistant and home options need to be used carefully, as these reserve space on your key. persistent mode allows you to save changes, and the drop down box determines how much can be saved. the home box allows you to set the size of your home folder and to encrypt it if wanted. (Check the suported distros to see if peristnace is supported) The activate swap option adds a swap partition to the USB key to use either of these optiosn just tick the box and choose the size that suits your needs to select your distro clcik the folder icon next to the disc icon and select your iso file.

Metacore Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Small update for Multiboot-v3: First of all, the program doesn't really let you do anything unless you already have a usb drive formatted to FAT32 plugged in, so might as well do that now. cd /tmp (it has to be /tmp) wget http://liveusb.info/MultiBoot-v3/MultiBoot-v3.tar.bz2 tar xjf MultiBoot-v3.tar.bz2 rm MultiBoot-v3.tar.bz2 cd MultiBoot-v3 sudo ./install.sh And it'll tell you pretty clearly which packages you need. Only confusing ones are "convert" and "identify" which are part of imagemagick, so if you need either of those, get imagemagick from your preferred package manager. Assuming you have all the packages, a popup in french (a small one with just one button) might popup. Just hit enter. The next window to open should have a bit more stuff in it including an entry with your plugged in usb drives. This is the program itself, and can be accessed from a .desktop file on your desktop(possibly with some warning about trust in Ubuntu) as well. How to switch from French: Double click the entry or highlight it and click "Valider". Open the top right dropdown "Menus" and click "Internationalisation". Click the dropdown that says "French" and change it your language. Press "Changer de language" It's now in that language. Like I said, just a small update, so you'll have to figure the rest out for yourself, but you're smart, I'm sure you'll do fine... Good luck!
