Ubuntu – Difference between NetInstall, HdMedia, and Live install images on UNetBootin

system-installationunetbootin

UNetBootin comes with three different choices for Ubunutu images: NetInstall, HdMedia, and Live. What's the difference?

Best Answer

The short answer:

Live refers to a system you can boot from CD/DVD or USB.
Net-install installs the system on your hard-drive and it checks for updates for certain packages. Changes to the system are permanent.
HdMedia means installing directly from the HDD, by booting the ISO.

Basically Unetbootin wiki says to create a temp partition to install the live to, then install your real ubuntu in another partition and finally wipe your temporary one.

Another way to go, suggested there, would be going for the net-inst image which loads into RAM and leaves your hd free to be mounted or umounted.
