Reception Ī review in Full Circle magazine in February 2021 stated, "despite the rather dated-looking interface, UNetbootin works perfectly, allowing the writing of almost any Linux or BSD distribution to a USB stick for testing or installation. 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. UNetbootin's distinguishing features are its support for a great variety of Linux distributions, its portability, its ability to load custom disk image (including ISO image) files, and its support for both Windows and Linux. This installation mode performs a network installation or "frugal install" without a CD, similar to that performed by the Win32-Loader. Multiple installs on the same device are not supported. Supports LiveUSB persistence (preserving files across reboots this feature is for Ubuntu only).Automatically detects all removable devices.Other operating systems can be loaded via pre-downloaded ISO image or floppy/hard drive disk image files.Can load a variety of system utilities, such as Ophcrack, BackTrack.


Supports mainstream Linux distributions, such as Ubuntu, Fedora, openSUSE, CentOS, Gentoo, Linux Mint, Arch Linux, Mandriva, MEPIS, Slackware as well as FreeDOS, FreeBSD and NetBSD.Non-destructive install (does not format the device) using Syslinux.This procedure involves using the dd command line tool to write the installation image to a USB flash drive. Cross-platform (available for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X) Making Installation USB Media on Mac OS X.This installation mode creates bootable USB flash drives and bootable USB Hard Disk Drives it is a Live USB creator.
