If you use a boot manager like YUMI, <http://tinyurl.com/zb7abw2> <https://www.pendrivelinux.com/yumi-multiboot-usb-creator/> it's actually pretty easy to make a bootable USB containing multiple distros and other repair tools to choose from. One big advantage to the DIY route over buying a ready made drive as in the orignal link is that you can choose a faster drive which can greatly improve performance. -- Dave Thayer Denver, CO _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/CAAo+qoUjzGGR88Od2gO3ff6=2skwjnkpdtzefzjofbkpfe-...@mail.gmail.com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
