Guys, why is this newsworthy... I recently made a bootable ubuntu usb stick after a couple google searches and commodity $15 8GB stick from BBY sale bin. Maybe I'm missing something important here, but the technology to burn an ISO to a USB is freely available why would anyone spend extra money for this rig.
Why would I pay for something that I can do with unetbootin?
Does unetbootin allow you to choose from multiple ISOs to boot now? It didn't last time I checked. I realize there's ways around that (like manipulating syslinux config files: http://tazbuntu.blogspot.com/2009/05/multibootin-with-unetbo... ) though. I like to use YUMI for booting from one of many ISOs on a single USB stick: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/yumi-multiboot-usb-creator/ This kickstarter project's idea of ha…

try burning multiple isos to a single usb stick.. next time read the article
So given our new knowledge what does this do that yumi does not?
To all the people doubting the use of such a device, many OSs don't currently work "out of the box" with unetbootn and other such tools. I've personally had problems with RHEL and Windows XP, and I can guarantee there are others. With RHEL, you had to copy the rpm repo on the CD to another storage medium and manually set up the repo. This is because the default repo is set up to detect an optical drive, mount it, and…
Apt changed my life...<3 debian.

For RHEL we do traditional PXE boot and Kickstart. (I guess you don't have a network so can't do that.)
JUST FUCKING STOP IT. Don't use an ISO in the first place. Just make a USB drive with partitions and copy the damned data onto the USB drive. If you want a bootable partition, use syslinux, as detailed here: http://thefowle.livejournal.com/470622.html

They link to it in the article.
I think the principle is that you give direct traffic to the important link rather than the content aggregator.

YUMI does this apperently. I had never heard of Yumi before, but I read the comments (and the article) so now I know about it. So given our new knowledge what does this do that yumi does not?

So what does this isostick do that YUMI does not do?
