Installation

------------

You will need three dependencies :

  * GRUB2 (usually installed on most distributions)

  * pv

  * whiptail (packaged in the `newt` library, that NetworkManager uses)

Download the archive :

    git clone https://github.com/kilbith/smi.git

Move some ISO images in the `smi/iso/` directory.

Note : you need to install GRUB first on your USB stick before installing the ISO images.

Then, run the installer :

    cd smi

    sudo ./smi

Once GRUB and some ISO image(s) are installed on your USB drive, reboot your system,

boot on your USB drive and select a bootable distribution in the GRUB menu.

The supported GNU/Linux distributions currently are :

  * Arch Linux

  * CentOS

  * Debian

  * Fedora

  * Gentoo

  * Linux Mint

  * OpenSUSE

  * Slackware

  * Ubuntu and all its derivatives

Troubleshooting

---------------

Some GRUB configuration files might be incorrect currently or in the future.

Please consult the [Arch Linux's wiki page](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Multiboot_USB_drive)

for more details about the GRUB configurations or adding support for more distributions.
