uxpbeta This project will create a customized multiboot XP Install DVD. Steps that were automated:
 Requirements:
http://winbuilder.net/download.php?view.24 A full step-by-step gallery of screenshots can be found here: http://winbuilder.net/e107_plugins/autogal...=Projects/uxp Possible bugs:
This project will take around 30~50 minutes until it is completed - all steps should be done in complete unattended mode without requiring any user interaction. - Initial boot screen  - LiveXP environment  - Windows XP Install  ----------------------- If needed - each script can be executed individually by pressing on the "green" play button The download package is sized in nearly 600Mb because it includes all driverpacks available and around 300Mb worth of freeware applications - it wasn't meant to be light - just a big and heavy XP install that I could use for everyday OS install on new machines without need to worry about drivers or installing some of my favourite programs. List of included addons (programs that are installed when the XP setup is running):
Please remember that this is the initial beta release and I would really appreciate any feedback regarding this project in order to make things work better - thank you in advance for your comments about it.

Hi benxhi, glad to hear it worked good on your computer.
Which OS do wish to include? The multboot section is handled by BCDW and you can edit BCDW.ini in order to include other OS's and then re-create a new ISO (you open the "finish" folder and run the script called "Create ISO") The documentation for BCDW provides a lot of examples to quickly learn how to use it. --------- If you wish to automate this step then you can write a script to automatically add another OS when building a fresh image. One of the multiboot options is WinRoot (the XP sized on 5Mb), take a look on the script - I'll mark on red what needs to be modified to match the values of the OS you wish to use: QUOTE [main] Title=WinRoot Description=Add a liveCD sized in 5Mb that starts in Windows NCLI mode (Native Command Line Interface) Selected=True Level=2 Version=1 Date=2007-NOV-28 Author=Boot land community Contact=http://boot-land.net/forums Download_Level=1 // %liveCD% can only have 4 characters [variables] %liveCD%=Root %project_folder%=WinRoot [process] FileRename,"%basedir%\Projects\MultiBoot\%project_folder%\Target\%project_folder%\I386","%basedir%\Projects\MultiBoot\%project_folder%\Target\%project_folder%\%liveCD%" If,ExistFile,"%basedir%\Projects\MultiBoot\%project_folder%\Target\%project_folder%\bootsect.bin",FileDelete,"%basedir%\Projects\MultiBoot\%project_folder%\Target\%project_folder%\bootsect.bin" Echo,"Copy all files to our target directory" FileCopy,"%basedir%\Projects\MultiBoot\%project_folder%\Target\%project_folder%\*.*","%targetdir%\","Show" Echo,"Restore older original folder name" FileRename,"%basedir%\Projects\MultiBoot\%project_folder%\Target\%project_folder%\%livecd%","%basedir%\Projects\MultiBoot\%project_folder%\Target\%project_folder%\I386" // run,%scriptfile%,add_multiboot [add_multiboot] // Was BCDW processed before? If,NotExistFile,%targetdir%\BCDW\bcdw.ini,Exec,%ProjectDir%\Basic\3-MultiBoot-BCDW.script,process // Ensure we don't repeat the same step so delete any previous entries TXTReplace,"%targetdir%\BCDW\bcdw.ini","\%liveCD%\setupldr.bin ; %project_folder%","" TXTAddLine,"%targetdir%\BCDW\bcdw.ini","\%liveCD%\setupldr.bin ; %project_folder%","Append" The above script will copy the contents of a folder called "WinRoot" (you can change this name to something else) inside the multiboot folder to the root of your image then it will write setupldr.bin to bcdw.ini It can be used to include other Windows XP / 2003 Install CD's/Boot Disks.

I included Kubuntu 7.10 but to make things more lightweight you can add Puppy Linux Or DSL
(dsl=D@mn Small Linux)

You can make a copy of an already existent script and then modify it with notepad or any other text editor.
The only important value to change is the "title" inside the [main] section. Example: CODE [main] Title=My Program Description=my Program will be added on the project Selected=True Level=5 Version=1 --- One other way is clicking inside wb: Advanced --> Create new script But the above tool is meant for app scripts: http://www.boot-land.net/forums/Creating-a...ript-t2665.html App scripts add programs on the LiveXP, VistaPE or any other projects that understand that script language. It works a bit like addons for nLite but specific to boot disks.
