Hello!

I'm trying to install multiple Linux distros on my computer... I finally got GRUB2 to show (currently running Ubuntu GNOME), I just got a bootable USB with BBQLinux Cream to figure out what WM I want to use... however, when I start GRUB I don't see any option for the USB.

So, after a bit of research, I go into command mode (by hitting c) and look at the different devices via set root=(blah blah) and find /<tab> and chainloader +1, etc but I usally get some error from chainloader saying somthing about some path being wrong (sorry, I'm writing this on the same computer so I can't see what it was). Anyway, is there any better way to do what I'm doing?

Also, I don't want to install what's on the USB, I'm just going to use it to test some different WMs. I also will probably will have more than two distros on this computer, but I'm not sure. My main plan is going to be Arch Linux + i3/bspwm.

Thanks!
