8_ Test with http://multibootusb.org/ (I have not tested it). I tested multibootusb on Debian today and it does work with putting UBCD on a USB memory stick. First format your USB memory stick. Then run multibootusb. Select the "Syslinux" tab. Then select "Install only syslinux (exis...

Have you tried the script in "ubcd/tools/win32/ubcd2usb/ubcd2usb.cmd"?

Noted. Will make the necessary changes to "/ubcd/tools/linux/ubcd2usb/readme.txt"

_ The volume label of fdubcd.img is (still) "FDUBCD150 " (that's 11 characters, uppercase). This is of course just a minor detail, and does not affect functionality. _ By zeroing out (aka. wiping with one pass only) the _empty_ space inside the fdubcd.img image (there are several ways to ...

This matter brings up again an old discussion about the possibility of distributing an alternative torrent. In addition to the normal "ubcd<nnn>.iso", an alternative torrent with an updated "ubcd_extracted_for_torrent" directory could be published for each release, allowing down...

I made an unfortunate mistake during this update, so both ASTRA and INTELPIU within DOSAPPS/FDUBCD were not updated as they should be. I have corrected the website (version numbers and changelog) to reflect this, and will push out a new release this weekend with the necessary corrections. Thanks to ...

UBCD V5.3.4 is available for download: You can grab it via torrent or normal download at the download page . Changelog: - Updated ASTRA to V6.23. Thanks to ady for the update. - Updated HDClone to V5.1.5. Thanks to ady for the update. - Updated "ubcd/tools/win32/unxutils/bin/xz.exe" to V5...

AFAIK, MemTest V6 is UEFI only, which cannot be integrated into UBCD.

@Cosmin: OK, will look into both suggestions in the next release.

If you are running UBCD Live from a USB memory stick, you can now easily persist all changes to the memory stick by doing the following: 1. Write the ISO image to the memory stick using Universal USB Installer or LinuxLive USB Creator . 2. In the root directory, you will find a tiny file called pers...

New release 0.2.2b is now available: https://www.ultimatebootcd.com/ubcdlive.html Changelog: - Updated ClamTK to V5.15 (slightly patched to fix signature update). - Added time-admin and make single-click on tray clock launch the app. - Reduce total image size by truncating /usr/share/doc. - Added pe...

Out of curiosity, have you considered using Porteus as your base?

Yes, we had a long and hard discussion about this very topic here.

UBCD Live V0.2.1b is now available here . I am still working on the following for V0.2.2b: - systester (note that systester-cli is already available in CPUStress/UBCD) - msed - Tool for displaying disk I/O - Update procedure of antivirus sigs (and possible persistence when UBCD Live is run from USB ...

Just added some stuff to UBCD Live, bumping the version up to 0.2.1b. Download from: https://www.ultimatebootcd.com/ubcdlive.html Changelog: - Added chntpw. - Added xpdf for viewing PDF files. - Added a slightly modded version of fskbsetting for keyboard selection. The build script is available here...

A low-resource PDF reader is indeed a good idea. Will add that to next release!

Done! Thanks for the update.

I apologize for the inconvenience you've been through. This measure was first introduced because the forum was overwhelmed by spammers! Even simple questions like "What is the color of snow?" was not working because I suspect the "intelligence"was being outsourced to spam farms i...

Like I said, it's just me. I actually set the power button on my laptop to no-op. No choice. Three little monsters around the house.

But if you feel it absolutely has to do something, I think a proper power-down is the correct thing to do, since that's what a normal user would expect.

I am not a "heavy" user of CPUStress. I have only used it a handful of times helping friends burn-in their newly acquired desktops. I actually prefer the current no-action behaviour. Reason is because it is very easy to accidentally press the power button, especially if you have kids in th...
