Re: [orca-list] new Versions of Sonar are out

Hey Jonathan,
Yumi is like the Universal USB installer, except that you can have multiple 
operating systems on it, and you can remove them easily from the stick too.
But if it is an ISO that can just be burned to a DVD or CD, then it will 
work on Umi.
I believe that it uses GRUB to give the user a boot menu.

Ah okay so you have two other operating systems on the stick? or your
saying that you have run these others on the same stick? With Sonar it
is a hybrid iso image which means that if you were already running linux
you could use the dd command to copy the Sonar image over and it would
boot off of the usb stick. i'm wondering if the program you are using is
adding additional software to make the iso bootable and that is
conflicting. i'm not sure it's just a guess. I've booted into Sonar off
of my usb stick on 4 different computers.
