own User entries

#1 Post by high55555 » Wed Nov 04, 2009 3:44 am

Hey,

I installed UBCD on an USB-Stick, I noticed that there is an entry "User Images". Is there anywhere a guide how to add some own boot entries?

I would like to add a windows 7 installation dvd and an ubuntu live system.

Kind regards

You can add your custom entries in /ubcd/custom/custom.cfg (or in the UBCD config files /ubcd/menus/syslinux/)

For Windows 7/Vista, you need this:

Code: Select all

LABEL win7
MENU LABEL Boot Windows Vista/2008/7 (bootmgr)
COM32 /boot/syslinux/chain.c32
APPEND ntldr=/bootmgr
You can't add Ubuntu live in its original form (with the nice boot menu), but if you know which options you select to boot it, I can try to give you the right command line.
Which version of Ubuntu?

You can read how the boot entries work, by donwloading the Syslinux package and by reading the documents in /doc.
