I just looked and I used Multiboot USB 7.1,but I ran it from Windows 7 to install the ISO's.

Okay, here's a screenshot of the YUMI program on my 52 GUN using Zorin.
I'll reboot and report back. :doh:

:doh: Too good to be true...I rebooted system and get this message:
"NO DEFAULT OR UI CONFIGURATION DIRECTIVE FOUND!
boot:_(flashing cursor)"
I don't know where to go from here, and I am NOT terminal savvy. I'll try Kerry's method
using Windows 7 version....uggggg

Thanks Kerry. Somehow I think the Left Hand will Not like what the Right Hand is doing. However, I'm on the CF-30 Win7 box, and downloaded MultiBoot usb 7.2.0.
Then...I downloaded several Linux distribution iso's to the meager hard drive.
ran the program MultiBoot via Win7, and voila...I am on a live linux distro of microwattR8 talking to you all...
Weird...YUMI did NOT work for me with the puzzling no default or UI configuration directive found code...
This is great for people wanting to put a few or a bakers dozen different distributions on their usb sticks....Please people, try this, that and the other thing and report back....

Yes,you simply add as many ISO's as the drive has room for and pick your flavor at boot.

It's also easy to remove and then add another...

Still have not found a Linux Version of the above example. For you Windows users, here is another:
http://www.linuxliveusb.com/
Once Linux Live USB loads, you are prompted with a menu from 1-5:
1. choose usb key
2. choose source
3. choose persistance
4. choose options
5 create
I ran a test choosing Ubuntu 14.10, Utopic Unicorn Gnome

There are quite a few choices for Linux Distributions. Even if you have an old usb, you can pop her in and this program will format it before proceeding. Persistance pertains to allowing you to save things to the usb stick. This is nice, as you could carry around a small usb such as Sadlmkr's, and allow up to 4 GB of space on the stick for data, pictures, music, etc. Essentially, you could use this without a hard drive, and save things as needed. Cool Beans. Choose your options and then "create"
