Did you try the .isopup file extension with Easy2Boot?

On 5.7.1 you can boot from ISO + extract the .sfs file (use 7zip to extract it, make sure name is lower case) and place it in a level1 folder of any name. Puppy will search all folders to one level deep to find the sqfs file. Works for FAT32 and NTFS drives. No extra cheat code needed. I am unable t...

hello there everyone hope i posted in the right place, i have a problem with legacy os wich i really want to try i have a flash drive with easy2boot wich allows me to boot iso's with grub4dos without extracting files wary puppy 5.5 and other puppies work, but legacy os 2.1 says puppy cant find file...

E2B includes a linux script to format and make an E2B USB drive as well as defragfs in the \_ISO\docs\linux_utils folder. Instructions are linked to on the E2B website http://www.rmprepusb.com/tutorials/114 If PCLinuxos is not fully booting from the ISO on E2B, then check you are using a USB 2.0 por...

Be aware that Plop! is a read-only USB 2.0 driver. Don't use a USB 3.0 port. If your bootloader uses the BIOS and needs to write sectors on the USB drive, it won't work because the Plop! driver is read-only. e.g. the grub4dos 'savedefault' command does not work if you booted to grub4dos from a USB d...

chakra-2015.03-euler-x86_64.iso works too (tested under VBox booting from E2B USB drive using DavidB's Virtual Machine USB Boot utility).

pclinuxos-mate-2014.12.iso - just tested with E2B using VirtualBox - works fine.
Are you using a USB 2.0 port or 3.0? Sometimes the linux distro does not have the required USB 3.o drivers.

If Easy2Boot didn't boot then you did something wrong when preparing it - reformat as FAT32 and try again. Easy2Boot uses grub4dos, not grub, so the error message indicates it has not a grub4dos boot sector or you are booting from the wrong drive. GhostBSD, PClinuxos, bohdi, chakra, MidnightBSD mems...

It is in the list of tested ISOs

Nice write-up
P.S. partnew requires the file to be contiguous (both .iso and ext2 file).

Use Notepad to make a Puppy.mnu text file in \_ISO\Linux\linux folder. Copy the ISO to the same folder. If you have a different ISO version then change the name to match Puppy.mnu ======= # Only the ISO file is required for this menu - 4th ptn on USB drive must be empty! iftitle [if exist (bd)/_ISO/...

I have had reports that Fedora works on Easy2Boot and I tested it myself and it works?? What exact ISO did you try?

Easy2Boot v1 BETA versions are now available. Menu has been revised. You can easily configure it for your own hi-res wallpaper, colours, menu box, etc. Linux ISOs are added to main menu or 2ndary menu, Windows install ISOs can be added, add Fedora with persistence and several other linux distros wit...

You can boot from ISO but you need to extract the sfs file - so you might as well just extract all three files. here are both menu entries for precise sku - use whichever one you like and you can change the folder name if you like to match your distro. # Extract files to /precise (only vmlinuz, init...

My tutorial on the rmprepusb site had been updated. There was a bug in the download you provide (if you go back from the linux menu to the main menu, it does not find other .mnu entries). The new version fixes this - see http://www.rmprepusb.com/tutorials/72---easyboot---a-grubdos-multiboot-drive-th...
