Had a rough brain racking day at work.Need some good sleep. :-)<br /><br />Glad you got it all working and glad I could steer you in the right direction.<br /><br />Feels good to create your own multi-boot disk, doesn't it?<br />:-) :-)TaZMAnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01529660510251220817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4960604415389001259.post-29759127940803263602010-06-07T17:23:49.499-07:002010-06-07T17:23:49.499-07:00Hi Taz.

But it decided to be temperamental within a multi-boot environment.<br /><br />Have you tested the multi-boot disk you made in virtualbox? That is how I tested and it worked fine. But after it was released I had reports that it would not boot on certain pc's.<br /><br />I'm one of them. When I made that disk, Mint worked on my pc. Since then I built a new one. Same brand of cpu and Nvidia video drivers as the old one.<br /><br />It will not boot on my new pc.<br />Don't know why. Got the same busybox message as you.<br />I never took a good look at what was the cause of it but I believe it is an incompatibility in hardware or when Mint intrid loads, it places files in the wrong directory then fails to find the files when it needs them.<br /><br />Does Ubuntu and Fedora boot without any errors?<br />Is Mint the only problem you are having?<br /><br />Looking at your code, I don't see anything out of the ordinary. You may want to try the following just to rule out a conflict with Ubuntu.<br /><br />Make a new Iso and test in VirtualBox or VMware. Take out Ubuntu. Put Mint in it's place with no modifications to initrd or casper. Write the sysconfig menu to point to Mint.<br />Test it out.<br /><br />If Mint still won't boot then you may want to try talking with some of the Mint developers. If it does boot, try modifying Ubuntu as the secondary 'Buntu distro.<br /><br />Good luck and keep me advised.TaZMAnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01529660510251220817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4960604415389001259.post-30050487631805919712010-06-06T11:46:59.848-07:002010-06-06T11:46:59.848-07:00Thanks for the info taz and reneL.

Sure, you can writ...Thank you for your kind words.<br /><br />Sure, you can write about it, but I would recommend to try it out first :)<br />Constructive feedback is welcome.<br />And if only some ISOLINUX entries have to changed, maybe someone else with higher upload bandwidth could seed it first ;)<br /><br />It is strange, I had to upload double the size to distribute at least one copy between the leechers and still the tracker does not show that it is fully distributed (Azureus showed 5 copies).<br />Maybe you are right and some people immediately disconnect, but it could be also that the tracker is not updated correctly.<br />Anyway, I wanted to wait until it is safe to download, here u go :)<br /><br />Usually torrents are the accepted default way for Linux users to download a new image, but if you think hosting will help, go ahead.<br /><br />I must say that I did it not only for the community but as a birthday present for the child of an Indian friend of mine in the first place *g*<br />Most of the (Indian) IT people I know are very strong Windows/IE/MS Office supporters (okay, probably because of the traditional conservative western company policies) so I am always arguing with them to at least try Linux for a few hours.<br />It costs me hours of talking just to bring some people to try out all the advantages of a small download (Firefox 3.5.2).<br />Sadly most of the time it is hard to convince people of Free Software so I thought an open-minded child could be easier to persuade ;)<br /><br />So next time a Linux Game DVD could be an option, too :)René Leonhardthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15719539687515911885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4960604415389001259.post-62174925575482162262009-08-10T16:15:21.747-07:002009-08-10T16:15:21.747-07:00A note to all my blog readers who are interested i...A note to all my blog readers who are interested in ReneL's multi-boot DVD.<br /><br />Remember that the only way this can stay alive and feasible is to make sure you keep the bandwidth equal.<br />If you download 4.5 gigs make sure to upload at least that same amount or even more.<br /><br />That way we can be assured everyone has access to it.<br /><br />Thank you for your understanding.TaZMAnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01529660510251220817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4960604415389001259.post-71168830297314327702009-08-10T16:11:13.618-07:002009-08-10T16:11:13.618-07:00Hi ReneL,
Thank you so very much for this great s...Hi ReneL,<br /><br />Thank you so very much for this great share.<br />I am looking forward to it and will do my part in helping with the share.<br /><br />And if you don't mind, I would like to put this as a full post on my blog. But will wait until you okay it.<br /><br />Maybe to take the load off of you I can help out by putting the file up to Rapidshare or Megaupload.<br />That is something we can possibly discuss.<br /><br />Again I must thank you for myself, the readers of this blog and the whole open source community for your generosity to share this with all of us.<br /><br />And be very proud of your accomplishment. It takes a lot of dedication to create these multi-boot DVD's.TaZMAnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01529660510251220817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4960604415389001259.post-21058414257724870472009-08-10T03:50:52.536-07:002009-08-10T03:50:52.536-07:00After some days of testing I finished and uploaded...After some days of testing I finished and uploaded the torrent:<br /><a href="http://www.mininova.org/tor/2837481" rel="nofollow">Multibuntu 9.04 i386 All-in-one DVD (Ubuntu Linux)</a><br /><br />It includes edubuntu-9.04-addon-i386 (based on Ubuntu, updated on 2008-08-07) and systemrescuecd-x86-1.2.2 in addition to the already mentioned ubuntu-9.04-desktop-i386, kubuntu-9.04-desktop-i386, LinuxMint-7, LinuxMint-7-KDE and tinycore_2.2.<br /><br />Try it out if you want :)<br /><br />Anyone who knows about Edubuntu Live CDs is invited to test the Live and the Install option.<br />Ubuntu 9.04 was the base, in chroot I installed edubuntu-desktop from edubuntu-9.04-addon-i386.iso, updated the system, removed and replaced the old kernels and used the edubuntu.seed from the addon.iso in the ISOLINUX boot menu entries on the DVD (/isolinux/text.cfg).<br /><br />All initrd files which had to be changed because of the ISOLINUX directory prefix use the casper script from Kubuntu 9.10 Alpha 3, the original files are included as well (initrd.gz.old) in case anyone wants to recreate the original ISOs ;)<br /><br />Maybe next time I will try to use Grub2 (direct booting of ISOs).<br /><a href="http://www.panticz.de/MultiBootUSB" rel="nofollow">This guide</a> is very good, but the end product should be a bootable DVD ISO :)René Leonhardthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15719539687515911885noreply@blogger.com
