replacing the Startup Disk Creator in Lubuntu 16.04 LTS

[Andre Campos Rodovalho]

Hello! Just tested MultiSystem and works... Actually it handles GRUB2,
Grub4DOS and also Syslinux.

My impressions are that this is not a good replacement for Startup Disk
Creator. It is a very nice script, but there might be lots of problems to
solve before this to be shipped on a ubuntu ISO. There are some failures on
translation, there is some links to non-free tools (not sure how that might
affect), but works, and there is also an option to download ISO files

In my opinion this is a must see script, maybe the community can do a
simpler but user friendly tool to create bootable drivers using grub2 based
on MultiSystem...
