It is better to use Ventoy to have multiple OS installers on a single USB in comparison to dd approach or Rufus or some live USB creator. For creating bootable USB via Ventoy use:

1. Go to https://www.ventoy.net/en/download.html and download Linux .tar.gz file
2. Extract the Linux tar.gz file.
3. Go to that folder as root user
4. Identify device name for pen-drive via "fdisk -l". *Be very careful if you make mistake you will wipe some wrong device.*
5. Then install ventoy on the drive using:

   ./Ventoy2Disk.sh -i /dev/sdb
   # say y twice

6. If you now do fdisk -l there should be /dev/sda1 with maximum space and /dev/sda2 approx 35MB with ventoy
7. Copy required ISO to /dev/sda1 after mounting it on some local folder
8. Reboot and test
