auto start

#1 Post by slaxlax » Fri Jun 13, 2008 10:18 am

If I want to start UBCD automatically instead of having to push enter when it first starts, what do I need to do to change this? Or in order to just change the time out so that it starts UBCD instead of the hard drive.

Thanks

The simplest way will to be edit isolinux/isolinux.cfg and change:
PROMPT 1
to:
PROMPT 0
You need to do the same for syslinux/syslinux.cfg if you are running from USB memory stick.

I'd like to extend this question a bit: in addition to auto-starting, how can I get UBCD to automatically start a series of tests? The end goal is to allow me to just plug in the USB key and have it boot up and run a sequence of cpu, memory, serial port, etc, tests, preferably in a loop. This is to stress test newly built systems. I don't know much about Linux, but a friend of mine does, so either DOS or Linux scripting is an option.

TIA!
