I&#8217;ll be honest &#8211; I had never even booted from a USB stick until a few weeks back when I <a href=\"http:\/\/princessleia.com\/journal\/?p=4120\">reinstalled my mini9<\/a> and was introduced to <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Ubuntu_Live_USB_creator\">usb-creator-gtk<\/a>. The multiple isos on one stick was a whole different beast, and I used rww&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/rww.name\/articles\/grub2iso.html\">Booting ISOs from GRUB 2<\/a>. You install grub2 on the USB stick and then copy the raw isos over, from there you just add the entries to the grub.cfg and you&#8217;re good to go!<\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"http:\/\/princessleia.com\/images\/journalpics\/042011\/berkeley_ugj_apr_2011_3.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/princessleia.com\/images\/journalpics\/042011\/berkeley_ugj_apr_2011_3_sm.jpg\" alt=\"\" border=\"\"><\/a><\/center><\/p>\n<p>We wrapped up the jam around 3PM.
