How to create a bootable USB flash drive with iso images?

Question

linux

How to competently make a USB flash drive capable of booting from the iso images in it? Is it possible to generate the menu on the fly when loading, or do I need to regenerate the menu file each time the list with images changes?
I work from linux.

Answer 1

IHMO, the most convenient to use Zalman VE-200,300,400

Answer 2

To create a bootable flash drive, I can recommend the program unetbootin.sourceforge.net
Not on the fly. You can make a script that will generate a new menu (syslinux.cfg) for iso files, but only after loading into the base OS.
1. The unetbootin utility writes an ISO image of the disk with the system to a FAT32 USB stick
2. Installs the syslinux bootloader.
Additionally, you can prescribe other operating systems in the syslinux.cfg bootloader. An example is on the wiki https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syslinux

Answer 3

I can advise krivoruky multisystem. It works fine, automatically adds names to the menu, several bootloaders are built in at once (+ grub4dos, syslinux).
Installing Ubuntu
#!/bin/bash
sudo apt-add-repository 'deb liveusb.info/multisystem/depot all main'
wget -q -O - liveusb.info/multisystem/depot/multisystem.asc | sudo apt-key add -
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install multisystem

Easy2Boot - I use it at home and at work.
We just throw the images into folders, we don’t need to regenerate anything.
