# unetbootin(1)

program to install Linux/BSD distributions to a partition or USB drive

## NAME

unetbootin - program to install Linux/BSD distributions to a partition or USB drive

## SYNOPSIS

**unetbootin**

## DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the **unetbootin** command.

**unetbootin** allows for the installation of various Linux/BSD distributions to a partition or USB drive, so it's no different from a standard install, only it doesn't need a CD. It can create a dual-boot install, or replace the existing OS entirely.
