In the following window, you are able to select the distribution, ISO file, and USB port. Upon opening the Universal USB Installer, you will need to read and accept the license agreement to continue. While the classic USB creation tool is secure and free of malware, alternative accounts could be dangerous to download and install. To ensure that the software is safe for PC devices, download the original version instead of developed variations. The Universal USB Installer is an open-source freeware that developers can create their own coded versions of and release to the public. While UUI can store only one distribution, YUMI is able to keep multiple items within a multiboot folder on the USB flash drive. Created and released by Pen Drive Linux, UUI is the predecessor of YUMI. Universal USB Installer at this moment does not support installing and booting from multiple Linux Distributions, but the developer’s are promising addition of this feature soon.Universal USB Installer is a free application that lets people create bootable USB drives to store an operating system. If you run Universal USB Installer from the same directory containing an installable ISO, the script will auto-detect the ISO and install it on your flash drive. ![]() Simply choose any one of the Live Linux distribution ISO file that is now supported by it, grab your USB flash drive and, click on Install. ![]() The Universal USB Installer is very easy to use.

What I meant when I said “persistent storage”? It means that you’ll actually have some permanent storage space in your flash drive to save things like your files and preferences, instead of having a clone of your disc image in your flash drive. In my previous articles, I covered two softwares, UNetbootin and Multiboot USB Menu that helps me to make the distros ready to be booted directly off my USB flash device.Īnother, very good utility that helps me create persistent storage on my flash drive is Pendrive Linux’s Universal USB Installer. This saves me time as I don’t have to first configure the virtual machine and install the Linux distros to test it. But for those Linux distributions that offers Live CD/DVD option, I use my USB flash drive to test them live. Most of the time, to test the other operating system and distributions, I use VirtualBox or VMware Player to virtualize them. I triple boot my system with Windows XP, Windows 7 and Ubuntu but I also like to test other Linux distributions. ![]()
