Number of confirmed downloads: ???; I have no idea yet. I need mirrors with numbers in order to find out as I do not have any analytics on this site itself.
3. Open MultiBootUSB and under "Select USB Stick" choose the appropriate USB and partition. For example, '/dev/sdc1'.
4. Under "Select image" either enter the full path or use "Browse" to find the PsychOS iso file.
5. At the bottom, under the "MultiBootUSB" tab, click "Install distro".
6. Find a movie to watch because it is probably going to be a while.
7. Boot from the USB stick like you normally would and at the first menu that you see, select the option closest to "PsychOS x.x.x".
8. If you are still having issues, then you may need to run sudo parted /dev/sdc set 1 boot on; replace the "sdc" with your USB. This is because some of these USB boot programs do not add /boot flags automatically.
Not all of the features of MultiBootUSB have been tested with PsychOS.
The resources listed below may or may not be included with any of the distributions listed above. The GNU General Public License (GPL) requires that source code be made available; however, if source code were to be included with every distribution for every GPL-licensed software, there would be much fewer software "out-of-the-box." Many FOSS-loving distributions get around this issue by having both a package.deb and a package-src.deb (or equivalent for other systems) in their repositories and therefore, I believe the following method is just as compliant.
Also note that not all software listed below are GPL-licensed and therefore may only include a link to a website or binary.

** Software listed with "!!" at the beginning are not included with any of the listed distributions; however, those distributions may or may not have an installer that can be accessed from a menu or command-line for the software. This is because of missing information in regards to that software's redistribution and it is safer to not assume.
++ "Manually Installed" refers to software added by means other than normal package management such as compiling from source or adding already pre-compiled binaries like EXE's for DOS software and other emulated operating systems.
