I have unpacked UBCD5 beta 5 in
./ubcd/ubcd50b5
This is my
mkisofs-ubcd.sh (it is located inside the
./ubcd directory):
Quote:
# You can double click on this script to remaster UBCD.
# It will automatically CD to the directory of the script
currrent_dir=`dirname $0`
echo Change directory to: "$currrent_dir".
cd $currrent_dir
echo
# Name of the iso that you want to create
isoimagefilename="./ubcd50b5-custom.iso"
# Directory where you have unpacked UBCD
root_of_iso_tree="./ubcd50b5/"
# Volume Id of the CD (label of the CD)
VOLUME_ID="UBCD50b5"
# Make the iso.
mkisofs -N -J -joliet-long -D -V "$VOLUME_ID" -o "${isoimagefilename}" -b "isolinux/isolinux.bin" -c "isolinux/boot.cat" -hide "isolinux/boot.cat" -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table "${root_of_iso_tree}"
You have to make this script executable (
chmod a+x mkisofs-ubcd.sh) and edit the
root_of_iso_tree, the
isoimagefilename and
VOLUME_ID parameter. Afterwards you can just double click on it, without opening a terminal and cd-ing to the right directory.
If you remaster UBCD, I recommend that you update isolinux / syslinux also. Don't use the syslinux package which is included in your distro, it is probably very outdated.

Update also the freedos image (there should be soon an update that correct the errors in the last version, so wait a little bit more).
@ as702: Which is the best version of your freedos image for UBCD411? I suspect that you don't need the last version for it (can be wrong).

UBCD50beta5 contains Parted Magic (linux). It also has antivirus software.

If you want to edit .igz files, rename them to .img.gz or .gz, unpack them with gzip of file-roller (GUI).
Making floppy images in linux:
For a 1.44MiB floppy image:
dd if=/dev/zero of=./newimage.img bs=1440k count=1
For a 2.88MiB floppy image:
dd if=/dev/zero of=./newimage.img bs=1440k count=2
or
dd if=/dev/zero of=./newimage.img bs=2880k count=1
See
man dd for more information.
You can format the images with
mkfs.msdos. They won't be bootable. You need to transfer a bootsector from a bootable floppy (image)
You can find bootable freedos images at:
http://bootcd.narod.ru/images.htm.
