Notice that each new entry starts with label unetbootindefault then continues with label ubnentry0, ubnentry1, etc.

Now before we close and save this file we need to correct some of the label entries. I use the Enter and Delete keys to make this new entry conform to the format of the other entries. Now place your cursor in between the section that starts with label ubnentry1 and label ubnentry2 and paste the entry from Puppy between them. Menu label Start Linux Mint in compatibility modeĪppend initrd=/casper/initrd.gz file=/cdrom/preseed/ed boot=casper xforcevesa ramdisk_size=1048576 root=/dev/ram rw noapic noapci nosplash irqpoll.

Now open up the syslinux.cfg file for Mint which looks like this Īppend initrd=/ubninit file=/cdrom/preseed/ed boot=casper quiet splash -Īppend initrd=/casper/initrd.gz file=/cdrom/preseed/ed boot=casper quiet splash. Open the syslinux.cfg file in the Puppy folder with your favorite text editor.Īll we want is the last 4 lines of this file (In Bold). Now that you have all the files from the Puppy folder copied to the flash drive it's time to add the Puppy Linux entry into the Mint syslinux.cfg file.

You could also select all then tell the file manager to skip the files that already exist but I don't like taking a chance that a file may get overwritten or corrupted. Vesamenu.c32, ubnpathl.txt, ubnkern, ubninit, ubnfilel.txt, syslinux.cfg, ldlinux.sys These are the file names you do NOT want to transfer over In the Puppy folder select all the files except those that have duplicate names in the flash drive containing Mint.

I resize both windows so they are visible side by side for easy transfer. Now open the first folder you created named USB Puppy. Open the flash drive to reveal all the files and folders. When you are satisfied that all is working properly boot back into your main system and then insert your flash drive once again. After it is done you will again want to test it to verify it is working. Choose the flash drive for the destination and start the download. Now delete all the files on the flash drive. Insert your flash drive, open it, select all the files and copy them over to the new folder you just made. Now that you are back in your computer make a folder on the Desktop or anywhere else you prefer and name it something like USB Puppy. Once you have verified that it works, reboot your computer with the flash drive removed. If your Bios is configured properly to boot from the flash drive you will see Puupy boot up, ask some questions about hardware and screen resolution then boot to it's Desktop. Select it and then choose the proper destination drive for the flash drive.Īfter it is finished downloading and configuring Puppy it may be a good idea to try it out by rebooting your computer with the flash drive still installed. The only version available should be the 'Latest Live' version. Start UNetbootin and from the drop down list select Puppy Linux. Make sure that any data on your flash drive is saved elsewhere as UNetbootin will wipe it all out. This is done on a 1 gig flash drive with only one partition.Īssuming you already have UNetbootin installed insert your flash drive.

#Unetbootin won t boot how to#
I'm going to give a short tutorial on how to dual boot Mint Linux and Puppy Linux. I have found that it is fairly easy to make a multiboot flash drive using UNetbootin.Ī bit of time, moving files and some simple edits to the syslinux.cfg file is all that is needed.
