I usually test my CDs with Qemu (or VirtualBox if Qemu is too slow.) I'm not including large ISO images in the combo script mostly because I don't use them all that often.
I might add SystemRescueCD and/or Feather soon, when I have some spare time. (The reason I included the plain GParted live CD for partitioning is its small size - 50MB.)
Hi maybeway36, just wanted to let you know that i ran the new version of the script and it works great. Love what you've created there, and i know it probably takes a lot of time to work on it, but i do hope that you continue to do so.Quote:

BTW, the link in your sig for the "Linux Vault".... is that something that you have put together yourself? It's a great idea and i hope that it takes off...... having a lot of Linux info in one place makes it a lot easier & quicker to find what you're after.
I have got the MultiBuntu DVD mostly made, but I I can't seem to get past a bug. For some reason, I can't get syslinux to stay up, it comes up for a second, then disapears again and boots up to the default selection (Ubuntu Live). It works similar to how you made this script (thanks for it! it helped me a lot in learning how to combine it), but it has some differences. I may release a pre-alpha image tarball.
The Linux Vault is something I found on Digg. I put the x11vnc tutorial there so it's easy to update and add on to.
smartboyathome: I just noticed your post about the MultiBuntu DVD you're making. Check to make sure your isolinux.cfg includes the line "PROMPT 1". I made a CD once where I forgot that, and it did the same thing (booting to the default.)
Thanks, that worked, but now I don't know how to redirect the kernel to the renamed squashfs files.
I just released version 1.7, with SystemRescueCd support. Thanks DJiNN for recommending it; I'll use it instead of GParted from now on.
How about incorperating the Arch Linux CD? :) Good job on the script.
That's great, and thanks once again for such a great script. It's a hard choice between Gparted & SysRescueCD, because they're both great, but SysRescueCD has GParted on it already, plus some other really great tools for partitioning and disk tools etc..... a really useful tool.Quote:
