A Windows program used for Making a USB stick bootable and to put an ISO on it.
Problem: A USB stick cannot boot with any of Porteus, the boot-repair LiveUSB, or SystemRescueCD. It used to be bootable with Porteus, and before that it could boot with other Linux LiveUSB distributions.
Solution: unsolved

A tool for booting multiple distributions from a USB stick. Duh.
Very easy to use. Works under Windows. Does not work under Linux.

A Linux distribution. A Linux system rescue disk.
I'm sure an updated version will use systemd, as Gentoo now does.
Footnotes

Used for preparing a LiveUSB for Linux distributions' .ISO files. Instead of using a CD or DVD, use a USB stick.
Use UNetbootin instead. Although doing the same thing (un7zipping), unetbootin works MUCH faster.
