Software Update: YUMI 1.9.9.7 Beta

Version 2 of YUMI is in development and a new beta release has now been released with jersey number 1.9.9.7. YUMI stands for Your Universal Multiboot Installer and is a Windows program that allows the installation ISOs of a large number of Linux distributions to be placed on a USB stick. In addition, there is also support for Windows installation CDs, antivirus rescue CDs or other tools. This means that they no longer have to be burned to a CD or DVD first, but the installation can be performed from the self-starting USB stick. What sets YUMI apart is that several ISOs can be added, which end up as choices in a boot menu. The release notes for version 2 so far can be found below.
