Ultimate Boot CD

maybe you would also like to update xosl from version 1.1.5 to XOSL-OW116 https://sourceforge.net/projects/xosl-ow/files/xosl-ow116/BootMedia/BootFloppy/ XOSL-OW116 is an Open Watcom port of XOSL115 released by Geurt Vos in 2000. XOSL115 is developed with the Borland C++ 3.1 tool set, XOSL-OW116 is ...

If I had found this thread earlier, I would maybe not have seeked a solution on my own.
However I downloaded your version and was very surprised that your binary for Mersenne27 is about 10% in size than what I've downloaded here. Could you explain why?

Great news and downloading. But Patrick Verner has released some new releases since 09-12, currently 11-30 is yet available. edit: as of removing Alegr Memtest: I solved the problem with incompatibility with FD-UBCD by creating a separate image. http://omniboot.at/images/[­base]/amemtest.img.gz (Due...

I got the seg-fault only for starting of Mersenne 27.7, not with the kernel itself. Also updating to stress 1.0.4 was no problem with the current kernel. I edited the ramdisk by first expanding the filesystem of the initrd to 48MB since Mersenne 27.7 is a lot larger and wouldn't fit into the current...

That's great news and I hope, it's not too tough a challenge! Btw, I tried myself to update to Mersenne 27.7 and stress 1.0.4. I was not successful with the current kernel, even after resolving two new dependencies (of Mersenne). Always got a seg fault. So I switched to the Slitaz-Kernel (2.4 MB) an...

About 100 different keyboards compared to about 20? Just have a look at /FREEDOS/PACKAGES/BASE/KEYBX.ZIP.

mkeyb works perfectly for all languages which also appear in the selction menu after FreeDOS has booted. When fdubcd.iso is booted the parameter kblang= with one of the abreviations used in that mentioned menu just preselects what could also be selected from that menu and the user starts with his ow...

It's up to others to decide, what is done in the UBCD, than me ;) But even if the selection isn't available in syslinux yet and so preselected at the DOS-prompt, even then it would be convenient for some nationalities, if there was a wider selection. To me it really doesn't matter if this feature is...

Obviously you are using an English keyboard. If you are not, say you live in France, Germany, Spain, Russia - the big rest of the world.... then each time you boot and you maybe only need to type a little path, some usual characters, you would need to adjust keyboard settings manually. You were not ...

The problem is that syslinux has no variable-management onboard. One would need to program a com32-extension like manjaro.c32 which I have only found at the authors place, so with the manjaro distro. I haven't yet tried how it would work in my environment and if the author is ok with it. This extens...

kblang is only affecting ubcd-based boot-elements. Any other distribution as pmagic has it's own boot-logic and OmniBoot is mainly a Syslinux-example how that can work together. So within OmniBoot, pmagic has totally different syslinux-configs than the original, as all the other modules. Packing the...

Well, I would have a lot to answer where I definitely don't agree with your view. But I guess everybody will prefer if I stick to your last sentence ;) Anyway, I need point out a few things: Wherever I am able to come up with a solution myself I prefer to act instead to ask others to do it. I need t...

Please don't call the integration of the UBCD into OmniBoot "stealing". I am giving a lot of attention to the UBCD on OmniBoot and didn't edit any true origin as for instance renaming anything like the fdubcd.iso etc. Of course I have heavily changed a lot of the whole boot process and dev...

Please have a look at OmniBoot in Ver 0.5, where you find the UBCD integrated. Infosite and Downloads On this Infosite you will see a content-table with a column Int(egration) where you will find "ubcd" for many elements. These are integrated in the core of ubcd, the fdubcd.iso as in the o...
