The developer has indicated on the website that Rufus was designed to create a single operating system USB installer. There’s also a notice that there are no plans to update the software to incorporate multiboot handling. However, with a bit of tweaking, that doesn’t mean that it’s impossible to do so. You’ll need a second, larger flash drive to function as a multiboot USB. ![]()
