YUMI-UEFI Portable 0.0.0.6 has been released. YUMI-UEFI (Your Universal Multiboot Integrator with UEFI support) can be used to create a Multiboot USB Flash Drive containing multiple operating systems, antivirus utilities, disc cloning, diagnostic tools, and more. It's packaged in PortableApps.com Format so it can easily integrate with the PortableApps.com Platform. And it's open source and completely free.

Features

ScreenshotYUMI-UEFI (Your Universal Multiboot Integrator with UEFI support), is the successor to MultibootISOs. It can be used to create a Multiboot USB Flash Drive containing multiple operating systems, antivirus utilities, disc cloning, diagnostic tools, and more. YUMI uses syslinux to boot extracted distributions stored on the USB device, and reverts to using grub to Boot Multiple ISO files from USB, if necessary. Aside from a few distributions, all files are stored within the Multiboot or yumi folder (depending on version), making for a nicely organized Multiboot USB Drive that can still be used for other storage purposes. Note that YUMI is intended to be used to try to run various "LIVE Linux" Operating Systems from USB. Installing Linux from the YUMI created USB Drive to a Hard Drive is not officially supported. If the installer portion of any Live Linux distro does work, consider it a bonus.

As this is a secondary version of YUMI, we won't be doing a wider promotion of it to social media and and similar announcements. This new release is mainly for completeness for advanced users that have need of both versions.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!

Would have saved me hours of tinkering two weeks ago, when I tried to retrieve the remaining data form my failing notebook hd (no up to date backup and uefi bios - the latter was a real pain to beat without a proper boot usb-drive). Wink
Good to have it at hand now!
