Hb_Kai Posted December 23, 2009 Report Share Posted December 23, 2009 Quite an interesting piece of software. UNetbootin allows a user to install a wide variety of Linux distributions to a PC using Windows or Linux but from the internet or it can use existing .iso images. And it can also be used to create Live USB bootable images which most Linux distributions come with this anyway so it seems pointless to add in there.The only downside of it from what I can see is, you're stuck to using the Windows boot-loader - for those of you who like using GRUB - but that's something I'm still exploring.Unlike the Wubi installer, UNetbootin creates real partitions on your hard-drive.

Seshomaru Samma Posted December 26, 2009 Report Share Posted December 26, 2009 UNetbooting is an excellent tool. I have used it several times on boxes that didn't have a CD-rom or had some problem with it. It only uses the Windows bootloader for the initial install. Most Linux install include GRUB so you can install GRUB to the MBR if you wish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
