Kon-boot to Usb Pendrive -

When I discovered Kon-Boot and posted it in my blog, I got request on how to put Kon-Boot ISO image file to USB. We know that kon-boot available with floppy and CD image But Now days Floppy doesn't come with machines and CDs are hard to put in pocket. So in this post We put kon-boot in USB pendrive with the help of tool Unetbootin 3.5.7 (Older Version) and it allows you to create bootable Live USB drives for a variety of Linux distributions or Windows, without requiring you to use of CD. In this trick use the floppy image instead of the CD ISO Image :
  1. Download older version of Unetbootin and install.
  2. Download kon-boot floppy image and extract the zip file to get .img file.
  3. Plugin your USB Pen Dive.
  4. Run Unetbotin 3.5.7, Select Diskimage, click .img file from where you extract image file in above step.
  5. Make sure USB Drive is selected for Type and the drive letter is the USB flash drive that you want to install Kon-Boot. Click OK. It should take a few seconds to finish installing Kon-Boot floppy image into your USB.
  6. Replace syslinux.cfg and chain.c32 of your usb pendrive by edited syslinux.cfg and chain.c32 from here.(credit goes to Irongreek). 
  7. Now bootup your machine with USB Pendrive by changing the settings from BIOS.
  8. If you get it right then you should see the kon-boot Screen as shown below...
