UNetbootin (Universal Netboot Installer) is a cross-platform utility that can create Live USB systems and can load a variety of system utilities or install various Linux distributions and other operating systems without a CD.
Modes
USB Install
This installation mode creates bootable USB flash drives and bootable USB Hard Disk Drives; it is a Live USB creator.
- Cross-platform (available for Windows and Linux)
- Non-destructive install (does not format the device) using Syslinux.
- Supports mainstream Linux distributions, such as Ubuntu, Fedora, openSUSE, CentOS, Debian, Gentoo, Linux Mint, Arch Linux, Mandriva, Mepis, Slackware as well as FreeDOS, FreeBSD and NetBSD.
- Can load a variety of system utilities, such as Ophcrack, BackTrack.
- Other operating systems can be loaded via pre-downloaded ISO image or custom kernel, initrd and floppy/hard drive disk image files.
- Automatically detects all removable devices.
Hard Drive Install
This installation mode performs a network installation or "frugal install" without a CD, similar to that performed by the Win32-Loader.
UNetbootin's distinguishing features are its support for a great variety of Linux distributions, its portability, its ability to load custom kernel, initial ramdisk and disk image (including ISO image) files, and its support for both Windows and Linux.[1] Unlike Wubi, and similar to the Win32-Loader, when installing to hard disk, UNetbootin installs to a partition, not a disk image, thus creating a dual-boot setup between Linux and Windows.
