how to dual boot sd card?

Wed Nov 05, 2014 2:21 pm

I was just curious if I have to set a default os on the sd card when using raspberry pi B+? to elaborate, I want to be able to have smbc/media center for streaming stuff to my tv but also be able to utilize kali Linux at times when im not streaming for school work.

I have been reading that boobs has multiple os on the sd card but do you have to select which one on the sd card before its booted with pi?

Noobs has to be set up on first install with the OSes you want.

BerryBoot can add/remove OSes.

XBMC can be installed in Raspbian Wheezy
Rather than negativity think outside the box !
RPi 4B 4GB (SSD Boot)..
Asus ChromeBox 3 Celeron is my other computer...
