Ultimate Boot CD

Charles, I found the solution; it seems I was all around it. In summary, there are two methods that will work. 1) copy the austrumi iso to UBCD images directory and rename it to a simple, standard name like austrumi.iso. The mkisofs options I was using were changing the multiple periods in the origi...

I'm not familiar with Astrumi so am not familiar with it's boot files or configuration. Clearly it's linux, but there's more than one way to startup a linux system. I might suggest you leave a message on the CDShell forums inquiring about how to set the runlevel using the isolinux command. OK, I po...

OK, then I don't know what that 4 is for. Try changing it back to "...ramdisk_start=0 4" and changing ".. init /etc/linuxrc .." to "... init=/etc/linuxrc 5 ..." Bottom line it you want to get it to boot in runlevel 5. I tried that, but it still won't start X. Near the ...

Ok, I tried the other method and everything works except astrumi boots into console mode. However, all I have to do is issue the command startx and everything loads just fine. It works!! All I did to get it to work was copy everything from asturmi.iso to the appropriate directories in UBCD except fo...

Hi Charles, Your first suggestion worked. I was able to boot astrumi properly even using qemu runing under XP. Unfortunately, the solution breaks all the mini linux distros listed in bootdsk.scn, except for one listed as [F7] Recovery Is Possible (RIP) V3.1 that distro uses bcdw boot /images/rip.img...

Thanks again

No there is no Insert directory so I should be safe to use the suggestions from your first reply. I'll let you know how it works out.

Cheers,

Try the following: [snip] - Copy all files from the Astrumi /isolinux dir to an /isolinux dir on UBCD Hi, thanks for the quick reply. If I do the copy to the isolinux directory from astrumi, it's isolinux.cfg and boot.cat files will overwrite the ones that are already there in that directory. Won't...

Hi, I've been trying to add Astrumi linux (see http://cyti.latgola.lv/ruuni/index_en.html ) to UBCD (basic version), but have had no luck. I tried adding the astrumi ISO to /images and then made an entry in custom.scn like so if ($lastKey == key[f4]); then diskemu \images\astrumi.iso I also tried if...
