# liveusb-builder
A script suite to create multiboot USB stick for GNU/Linux distributions
## dependencies
- udevil: for mounting iso files
- wget: for downloading
- GRUB with BIOS and UEFI support
## usage
First mount your USB drive partition. I recommend using udevil so that you can write files without as root.
Then run buildlive script as follows, suppose your USB is /dev/sdb and /dev/sdb1 is mount to /media/sdb1:
```
# install Arch, Mint (x86_64 with MATE Desktop) and Fedora to USB
./buildlive --root=/media/sdb1 --dev=/dev/sdb arch mint/64/mate fedora
```
## status
The resulting USB stick works on QEMU with PC BIOS (SeaBIOS), UEFI (OVMF), libreboot (i440fx, GRUB txtmode) as firmware.
