Tools List Map??

#1 Post by steve288 » Thu Oct 02, 2008 7:23 am

Im having problems going in and out and figuring out where things are. I have looked high and low (really I have). Is there not a list I can print out to show what tools are under what heading. eg. Disk Tools/Some tool or Motherboard Tools/CPU Test or what ever. In other words sort of of a map. I understand why you cant have a menu per say like in the windows version, but a tree of where each of the tools is would be helpfull. Is there anything like this that someone can point me to.

Right now you have to either know what is on the disk and where they are. Or just hunt and peck around.

thanks
Regards

Currently there isn't such a thing, but you can make it yourself.

Open the main.cfg file in /menus/:

Code: Select all

MENU INCLUDE /menus/defaults.cfg
LABEL mainboard
		MENU LABEL Mainboard Tools
		KERNEL menu.c32
		APPEND /menus/mboard.cfg
LABEL harddisk
		MENU LABEL Hard Disk Tools
		KERNEL menu.c32
		APPEND /menus/hdd.cfg
LABEL filesys
		MENU LABEL Filesystem Tools
		KERNEL menu.c32
		APPEND /menus/filesys.cfg
LABEL others
		MENU LABEL Other Tools
		KERNEL menu.c32
		APPEND /menus/others.cfg
LABEL custom
		MENU LABEL User-defined Tools
		KERNEL menu.c32
		APPEND /custom/custom.cfg
LABEL bootdisks
		MENU LABEL DOS/Linux Boot Disks
		KERNEL menu.c32
		APPEND /menus/bootdsk.cfg
LABEL boothdd0
    MENU LABEL *Boot First Hard Disk
    KERNEL chain.c32
    APPEND hd0
LABEL boothdd1
    MENU LABEL *Boot Second Hard Disk
    KERNEL chain.c32
    APPEND hd2
You can see that the first menu "Mainboard Tools", points to the file /menus/mboard.cfg. Open it:

Code: Select all

MENU INCLUDE /menus/defaults.cfg
LABEL back
	MENU LABEL ..
	KERNEL menu.c32
	APPEND /menus/main.cfg
LABEL mboard1
	MENU LABEL CPU Tests
	KERNEL menu.c32
	APPEND /menus/mboard1.cfg
LABEL mboard2
	MENU LABEL Memory Tests
	KERNEL menu.c32
	APPEND /menus/mboard2.cfg
LABEL mboard3
	MENU LABEL Peripherals Tools
	KERNEL menu.c32
	APPEND /menus/mboard3.cfg
LABEL mboard4
	MENU LABEL CPU Information
	KERNEL menu.c32
	APPEND /menus/mboard4.cfg
LABEL mboard5
	MENU LABEL System Information
	KERNEL menu.c32
	APPEND /menus/mboard5.cfg
LABEL mboard6
	MENU LABEL Benchmark Tools
	KERNEL menu.c32
	APPEND /menus/mboard6.cfg
LABEL mboard7
	MENU LABEL BIOS Tools
	KERNEL menu.c32
	APPEND /menus/mboard7.cfg
Now the first useful menu is: "CPU Tests". Open it:

Code: Select all

MENU INCLUDE /menus/defaults.cfg
LABEL back
	MENU LABEL ..
	KERNEL menu.c32
	APPEND /menus/mboard.cfg
LABEL cpuburnin
	MENU LABEL CPU Burn-in V1.00
	KERNEL /boot/cpustres
	APPEND initrd=/boot/cpustres.gz ubcd=cpuburn
LABEL stresscpu
	MENU LABEL StressCPU 20021024 (requires CPU with SSE)
	KERNEL /boot/cpustres
	APPEND initrd=/boot/cpustres.gz ubcd=stresscpu
LABEL mprime
  MENU LABEL Mersenne Prime Test V23.9/24.14
	KERNEL /boot/cpustres
	APPEND initrd=/boot/cpustres.gz ubcd=mprime
If you look at the hierarchy of those files you can make the menu.

Code: Select all

* Mainboard Tools:

	- CPU Tests:
		° CPU Burn-in V1.00
		° StressCPU 20021024 (requires CPU with SSE)
		° Mersenne Prime Test V23.9/24.14

	- Memory Tests:

	- Peripherals Tools:

	- CPU Information:

	- System Information:

	- Benchmark Tools:

	- BIOS Tools:

* Hard Disk Tools:

* Filesystem Tools:

* Other Tools:

* User-defined Tools:

* DOS/Linux Boot Disks:

Thanks for the clarification.

I wonder if some simple thing with sed or something could automatically extract the data ?

Thanks.
