Though YUMI was originally intended to be used to run various “LIVE

a Flash Drive to a Hard Drive should work with most distributions. If you
find a distribution where the installer does not work, please let me know.

Creation
This tool works much like Universal USB Installer, except it can be used to
run more than one distribution from your Thumb Drive. Distributions can
also be uninstalled using the same tool!

NOTE: A YUMI exFAT variant is still in the works. In the interim, Legacy or
UEFI Boot variants are recommended. Here are the key differences:
 YUMI Legacy supports either NTFS or Fat32 format. BIOS USB boot
only.
YUMI UEFI supports Fat32 only. BIOS and UEFI USB booting (Distro
dependent).

YUMI Legacy (BIOS USB Boot Only)

You can use this version if your computer supports BIOS booting, and if
you do not plan to run your Windows installers from YUMI in UEFI mode.
Most modern motherboards still have Legacy BIOS firmware support
though CMS Legacy mode.

YUMI UEFI (BIOS and UEFI USB Boot)

The YUMI UEFI variant utilizes GRUB2 for both UEFI and BIOS booting.
Note that this UEFI version is not compatible with the legacy variant. In
addition, your USB drive must be Fat32 formatted to support booting in
UEFI mode. It utilizes the fat32format utility to format drives larger than
32GB as Fat32.

Drag and Drop ISO Support

The “Try Unlisted ISO” option supports the ability to drag and drop
additional ISO files to try into the /multiboot/ISOS folder. They will be
autodetected and their entries automatically appended to the Boot Menu.

BACKUP DATA: Backup your content from ALL partitions on your selected
USB drive before using the “Wipe and fat32 format” option. The entire disk
will be wiped clean!

Diskpart is used to wipe the select drive clean and then create a single
partition using the same drive letter. Fat32format is used to format the
large partition as fat32.

YUMI Basic Essentials

NOTE: For legacy YUMI, your USB drive must be Fat32/NTFS formatted, otherwise

Syslinux will fail and as a result, your drive will NOT Boot. NTFS may not work with every

distribution but is required for storing files over 4GB. YUMI UEFI currently must use

Fat32 format.

YUMI Legacy or UEFI can be used to format your select USB drive, but
be aware that all partitions on the select disk will also be deleted.
 Ensure that you have made a backup of any information you want to
keep before using YUMI on any drive.

Basic Essentials to create a Multi System Bootable USB Drive

Recommended: You’ll have the best experience when using YUMI on a

Fast SSD Flash Drive. Here’s a list of recommended Fast Flash Drives.

2GB+ Fat32 or *NTFS Formatted USB Flash Drive.

Computer that can boot from USB.
Windows 11, 10, 8, 7 Operating Environment.
YUMI (to create a Multiboot Bootable USB).
Your favorite ISO Files.

Please inform me of unlisted “FREE” Live Linux distributions or version revisions, and I

will attempt to update YUMI to support them. Additionally, developers who wish to have

their Live Linux distribution added, can direct me to a copy to try.

YUMI can be pronounced Yŭh * Mēē or “YUMMY”. It is often misspelled

YUMMI or YUMY.

Some might also call it Yū * Mēē or “YOU ME”. Either pronunciation works
just fine.
