Hello, It's Saturday I'm a little bored.

I have a laptop running lubuntu and I have 4 access points just lying around. Situated in a very populated area.

Any and all ideas welcome.

Install Archlinux

bound to keep you thrilled.
 
Try making a USB installer that can be used to install Windows 8, OS X, and Ubuntu. The plan is to have the 3 OS's on one USB drive that can then be used to install whichever OS you choose and still have Ubuntu keep it's live mode with persistence. Once you have that figured out, please post a tutorial. Preferably with pictures. Thanks. :)

That's very, very, very easy.

I made one on a 16gig micro SD card.

You need to partition the card in 3. I had one for Windows 8, one for Linux Mint and another partition for Raspbian.


I think I still have the SD card laying around here somewhere.

That's.... Really easy.


I have a 32 GB flash 4 partitions

Elemerery OS
Windown 8
Fedora
Debian
 
Elementary barely does.

Windows for the win unfortunately
 
OS X doesn't work with amd.

Some clarity:

What I was trying to make a while back was a bootable USB flash drive that had Ubuntu 14.04 with persistence that worked on a Mac. Getting persistence to work on Windows is exactly the same as on Ubuntu. It doesn't, however work the same on a Mac. That drive can then be used to carry around a working Ubuntu system that can preserve my personal settings and files independent of what computer I was working on. I could never get it woking on a Mac despite trying some tricks I found on the net.

My plan was to then add Windows 8 and OS X to the drive purely as installers. I tend to work on all three OS's regularly and also install them regularly. Having the live Ubuntu environment combined with the Windows and OS X installers would have been quite a handy tool for me.
