Create a Multi Grub4dos cd/dvd to boot multiple Puppys (and other distributions)

#1 Post by nic007 »

The objective is to create a multi boot cd/dvd which will give us the choice of Puppy (and other distributions) to boot from cd.

Notes:

1. We require the grub4dos boot loader (grldr), menu.lst and the essential Puppy files (vmlinuz, initrd.gz and the base sfs of each Puppy). With some puppy's, like Tahr, you need the zdrv.sfs too.
2. It is strongly suggested to have each Puppy in its own folder.
3. We can build the iso in any location, however, the attached script has /root as working directory. Make sure you have sufficient RAM or large enough savefile for the operation.
4, Attached find a zip file containing grldr, the script to run and an example menu.lst file.
5. Run the attached script, copy the files when prompted and edit menu.lst
6. Burn the newly created iso to cd/dvd.
