i just downloaded DSL 4.4.1 and managed to multi boot it..

heres how..
1) i extracted everything from dsl-4.4.1.iso to a folder named DSL
2) i copied everything within folder DSL\BOOT\ISOLINUX to folder DSL
3) i copied everything within folder DSL\KNOPPIX to folder DSL
4) i deleted folder DSL\BOOT
5) i deleted DSL\LOST+FOUND

so the folder contents of DSL are...

Quote

boot.cat
boot.msg
f2
f3
german.kbd
isolinux.bin
isolinux.cfg
KNOPPIX
linux24
logo.16
minirt24.gz


finally here's the isolinux command i use to call DSL from cdshell.ini

Quote

if $lastKey == key[ b ]; then isolinux /SETUP/DSL/linux24 ramdisk_size=100000 init=/etc/init lang=us apm=power-off vga=791 xmodule=fbdev initrd=/SETUP/DSL/minirt24.gz nomce noapic quiet knoppix_dir=/SETUP/DSL/ BOOT_IMAGE=knoppix

its all one line... and i made some changes...

1) i kept folder DSL in a folder called SETUP (doesn't matter where you put it. just remember to call perfectly from the cdshell.ini menu)

2) i use the above command to redirect to the following files LINUX24 / MINIRT24.GZ / KNOPPIX.

finally, i set my file system to ISO 9660 and ROCK RIDGE...


Please do not offer or ask for CDSHELL solutions in this thread. Simply bec you're using ISOLINUX as a chainloader under CDSHELL doesn't mean the post is appropriate here. The entire idea behind this thread is to offer a coherent source of solutions for using the latest ISOLINUX to make multiboot CD/DVDs. Regardless of what some mite suggest, ISOLINUX and its utils are very easy to use and are a complete alternative to CDSHELL. There are plenty of other places for soliciting and offering help w/ CDSHELL issues....Jet

i'm having a problem and i can't seem to solve it, hopping someone can help.
i'm trying to integrate Backtrack3 (or 2 - it has the same issues) into a multiboot dvd based on jets initial post,
bt3 boots fine until
 
*looking for data directory
Fatal error occurred - BT3 data not found.
You are maybe using an unsupported boot device (eg. SCSI or old PCMCIA)
... 

i have no ideea why this is happening since bt is based on slax and slax works perfectly in this setup.
dvd directory structure is:
 
\dvd\
      boot\
              bt3\
              dsl\
              isolinux\
              slax\
              sysresccd\
      bt3\
      dsl\
      i386\
      slax\
      sysresccd\
      bootsect.bin
      WIN51IP
      WIN51IP.SP2
 

i386 is bartPE,
config file snippet for bt3:
 
LABEL bt3
MENU LABEL Backtrack
KERNEL /boot/bt3/vmlinuz
APPEND vga=0x317 initrd=/boot/bt3/initrd.gz ramdisk_size=6666 root=/dev/ram0 rw autoexec=kdm 

testing done in vmware - virtual cdrom device using ide interface
i have to admit my isolinux skills don't go higher than begginer level so i'm running out of ideeas,
googled it and what i found didn't help me, please help...

Add from=/bt3 to your isolinux append line. Make sure you have livecd.sgn in the bt3 folder.

Cheers


Here's some tips for multibooting other distros:

Chris D'Hondt (cmdhondt @ hotmail.com)
Changes to Support Multibooting Linux Live CDs on the Same Disc (14,June 2008)

This assumes that your disc label is "AdminToolkit" and that your linux directory
on the root of your disc is called LINUX. Change ISOLinux kernel and append statements as needed.

Almost all of these changes deal with editing files inside the initrd.
This file is usually a gzipped cpio or a gzipped ext2 image.

Knoppix - use the knoppix_name and knoppix_dir cheatcodes on ISOLinux initrd boot paramaters.

DSL - See Knoppix

Zenwalk - need to change name of livecd.sgn and edit liblinuxlive to change LIVECDSGN and LIVECDNAME variables
from=/LINUX/ZENWALK needs to be added on isolinux append line.
root password is ZenLive.

Fedora - Username is root, no password. initrd0.img is gzipped cpio.
To unpack: $> mkdir /home/user/tmp
$> mv initrd0.img initrd0.gz
$> gunzip initrd0.gz
$> cd tmp
$> cpio -id < ../initrd0
$> mv ../initrd0 ../initrd0_old

needed to change the sections in 'init' where it referenced the LiveOS directory.
ie.. OSMINSQFS, EXT3FS, SQUASHED. You also need to change the lines right above so
the files can be found

To pack:
$> cd /home/user/tmp
$> find . | cpio --create --format='newc' > ../initrd0.img
$> cd ..
$> mv initrd0.img initrd0
$> gzip initrd0
$> mv initrd0.gz initrd0.img

Ubuntu - need to change casper in initrd/scripts
change all $Path/casper to $Path/LINUX/UBUNTU/casper
change $mountpoint/.disk/casper-uuid to $mountpoint/LINUX/UBUNTU/.disk/casper-uuid
change all $Directory/casper to $Directory/LINUX/UBUNTU/casper
See above (Fedora) for cpio extraction and compilation.

Kubuntu - See Ubuntu

Linux Mint - See Ubuntu

OpenSuSE - need to change config.isoclient file to point new location for
openSUSE-10.3.i386*. Also need to change init and linuxrc so
that LIVECD_CONFIG points to config.isoclient in the right place.
See above (Fedora) for cpio extraction and compilation.

Mandriva - needed to modify linuxrc and change LABEL to AdminToolkit
also change /live/media/distrib.sqfs to correct path.

Clonegenius- need to change copy path in init under "Mounting Squashfs filsystem"
ISOLinux append line needs SUBDIR=LINUX/GENTOO added

CloneZilla - add /live_media/LINUX/CLONEZILLA to live_media_path_checklist in
pkg\opt_drbl.tgz\opt\drbl\conf\drbl-ocs.conf
add /live_media/LINUX/CLONEZILLA to possible_path variable in ocs-live.d/s03prep-drbl-clonezilla
add /live_media/LINUX/CLONEZILLA to possible_path variable in S99start-ocs-live in /etc/rcS.d
put changed S99start-ocs-live in the root of initrd
need to change casper in initrd/scripts
change all $Path/casper to $Path/LINUX/CLONEZILLA/casper
change all $Directory/casper to $Directory/LINUX/CLONEZILLA/casper
at the bottom (line right before the brace) create a new line and add
cp S99start-ocs-live "${rootmnt}/etc/rcS.d/"
See above (Fedora) for cpio extraction and compilation.

PCLinuxOS - need to change linuxrc in initrd (ext2 image).
Change $MNTCDROM/$BASEIMG$LOOPSEXT to $MNTCDROM/LINUX/PCLINUXOS/$BASEIMG$LOOPSEXT
Change losetup $DEVLOOP $MNTCDROM/$BASEIMG$LOOPTYPE to losetup $DEVLOOP $MNTCDROM/LINUX/PCLINUXOS/$BASEIMG$LOOPTYPE
Change all $MNTCDROM/livecd.sqfs to $MNTCDROM/LINUX/PCLINUXOS/livecd.sqfs

Kaspersky - In init change ${cdrom_mount_point}${SUBDIR}/kavresc to ${cdrom_mount_point}${SUBDIR}/LINUX/KASPERSKY/kavresc
Gentoo based.

Gentoo - In ISOLinux config change loop=image.squashfs to loop=/LINUX/GENTOO/image.squashfs
In ISOLinux config add SUBDIR=LINUX/GENTOO

Backtrack - In ISOLinux config add from=/LINUX/BACKTRACK

Virtualbox is a good way to test your changes
To get eth0 interface working in VirtualBox, you need the Bridge_Utils package:

$> brctl addbr br0
$> ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0
$> brctl addif br0 eth0
$> ifconfig br0 192.168.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0

Yeah, my bad, i missed the from= parameter i was using on slax BUT no good
it still doesn't find it's data directory as discribed in my earlier post, i can't understand why
because slax works and the config lines for slax and bt3 are essentially identical as you can see...

 
LABEL slax
MENU LABEL ^7  Slax 5
KERNEL /boot/slax/vmlinuz
APPEND vga=769 max_loop=255 initrd=/boot/slax/initrd.gz from=/slax init=linuxrc load_ramdisk=1 prompt_ramdisk=0  ramdisk_size=4444 root=/dev/ram0 rw nopcmcia
-----------
LABEL bt3 
MENU LABEL ^8 BackTrack 3 
KERNEL /boot/bt3/vmlinuz
APPEND vga=0x317 max_loop=255 initrd=/boot/bt3/initrd.gz from=/bt3 init=linuxrc  load_ramdisk=1 prompt_ramdisk=0 ramdisk_size=6666 root=/dev/ram0 rw autoexec=kdm
 

Also livecd.sgn is in the bt3 folder.
Am i missing something?

Thanks,
midz

Midz: I believe BT3 is based on the most rec version (v6) of Tomas M's Linux-Live scripts, so that LIVECD.SGN's location must also change. As I research this issue using my old Super-Discs, I have both Slax-5 and Slax-6 (ie. two diff versions of the Linux-Live scripts) working on a Super-Disc, so it isn't too tough. I seem to recall that the 'from' cmd-line option changed a little bit bet versions. Also review your cmd-line, as this changed from Linux-Live-5 to Linux-Live-6.

What I can say with certainty, is that the structure of the orig source must be replicated for each version of the Linux-Live scripts. Therefore, whatever is in the root of the Slax-5 disc must appear in the \dvd\slax sub-dir, which is where LIVECD.SGN lives. The same is true of BT3 (which should be comparable to Slax-6), so that you should have a \dvd\bt3\boot and \dvd\bt3\slax. \dvd\bt3\slax is probably where LIVECD.SGN lives, assuming the BT crew didn't hack liblinuxlive. HTH....Jet

@midz
Try this one:

mkisofs -J -joliet-long -no-iso-translate -N -V mb12 -b boot/isolinux/isolinux.bin -iso-level 4 -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -o mb12.iso \mb


@Jetman
I have all my linux live-cds booting from a directory called LINUX on the root of my dvd so I know you can put them in directories other than the default :). The SLAX (5/6) based ones where easy to do since the from= boot parameter tells it where to look for the LIVECD.SGN file first. Otherwise it'll search the whole disc and will try to boot from the directory it finds that file in first, which can end up being the wrong one if you have mutiple SLAX based distros on your disc like I do (SLAX 5 / SLAX 6 / ZenWalk 5 / Backtrack 3).

Cheers

Jotnar: I understood all of that and read your earlier post about hacks to other distros that I haven't touched yet: very good ! My point was that 'from=' changed a little bit, from Linux-Live-5 to 6, but it still helps find LIVECD.SGN. I did my SuperDisc proj w/o hacks to the init ramdisk and I still segmented the distros in their own sub-dirs. Also, I discovered that LL/Slax-5 had several directories in the root, while LL/Slax-6 had two: /boot and /slax. Initially, I made the mistake of breaking out the sub-dirs in /slax, to match the layout of LL/Slax-5. Never worked and I suspect midz did something like that. Also the reason I mentioned the cmd-line boot opts changed. It would never find LIVECD.SGN. So, I have something like:

\Super-Disc
   killbill\
	  base\
	  devel\
	  modules\
	etc...
  slax-6\
	 boot\
	 slax\
		base\
		devel\
		modules\
	  etc...


I probably could've buried killbill (Slax-5) and slax-6 under another dir level, but otherwise I did my proj w/o mods.

Re: MKISOFS cmd-line opts, I've covered that more than once, but perhaps it's time for another recap in the 1st msg, w/ a pointer to a MKISOFS dload.

I also need to d/l a fresh copy of PCLinuxOS, to try your hack for adding it to a multi-boot disc. Later....Jet

Jet, you were right I was using the same layout for slax6 as for slax5 and as you know it didn't work.
I tried doing it your way with the boot and slax dir under a slax6 dir and it worked with:

from=/slax6


What did you mean by 'from=' changed a little bit?

Here's the interesting part, BT3 works with the usual layout, boot and data dirs split, BUT using Jotnar's mkisofs command line (Jotnar, can you expand on why this works...), I'm guessing this has something to do with the file system since my initial one used rock ridge while the new one uses joliet?
Funny though i expected BT3 to behave like Slax6, guess i was wrong.

Thanks,
midz

I hope you dont get mad at me... but... could someone upload a basic iso example.
I cant get it working... I need to se a working example... to modify it... Thats how i learn this stuff...

Hope you can help me... i Just need... ISOlinux menu whit only one or 2 items, a bin file loader... such as xp extracted boot image... and thats all... after that i think i would get it working my way...

Thanks...

Hi - I know my question is not quite right positioned here, but anyway....
I followed your instruction to build a multiboot USB-pendrive with ubuntu and pmagic located in subfolders on the stick. I am using syslinux v.3.71 and it works fine with pmagic, but with ubuntu I found no way to get it work. It starts up fine first, but then the boot-process stops on the bootscreen (with the scrollbar scrolling around) with alternating access on the USB-stick and then the CD-drive. I assume that it has something to do with the mountpoint in initrd/scripts/casper, but I have no idea what the stick's mountpoint is - I tried /media/CORSAIR already (regular mountpoint under installed Ubuntu), but that doesn't work. So any hint would be greately appreciated...

Try booting it without the "quiet" and "splash" options. (Hit tab at the boot screen when the boot option is selected and then delete them from the options line). That may give more of a hint at where its failing.

Hello I am tryng to make a multiple live cd that bots some distributions, but only Ubuntu Hardy Hedron dont bot, there are the distros, directory structure and my isolinux.cfg:


Knoppix 5.1 live cd -- ok
Fedora 9 live cd (gnome based) -- ok
OpenSUSE 11 with KDE 4.1 -- ok
Mandriva ONE KDE -- ok
Kubuntu Hardy -- donīt boot

Live dvd label: MandrivaOne (for boot mandriva! n_n), firts i use grub for boot the live dvd, and isolinux in a second try

Directory structure:boot/ -- here are the global menu.lst, in the root the mandriva kernel, in the directories the kernels and initrd of the other distros distros
boot/grub -- grub menu.lst configs files only
boot/grub/mandriva -- only menu.lst
boot/grub/ubuntu -- menu.lst, kernel and initrd
boot/grub/suse -- menu.lst, kernel and initrd
boot/grub/knoppix -- menu.lst, kernel and initrd
boot/grub/fedora -- menu.lst, kernel and initrd.gz
boot/cdrom -- directory for mandriva initrd
casper/ -- here the loopback image for kubuntu, the kernel and initrd
config.isoclient* -- this archive is for the kiwi system of Fedora
isolinux/ -- this isolinux directory is from the mandriva live cd, also i reuse it for tryng boot the dvd using this isolinux :P
KDE-Four-Live-read-only.i686-1.1.0* -- loopback image of SUSE 11

@Israeru

Sounds to me like you missed out the .disk hidden directory from the livecd.

@killr

Ophcrack and BackTrack are both based on slax. There's loads of info about Slax around here so I'll leave you to search.

If your using isolinux you wont be able to boot Vista's bootmgr but you do have the choice of using either GRUB4DOS or BCDW instead.

I use BCDW as the launcher from isolinux:

isolinux label
label vista
  menu label Windows Vista Recovery Console
  kernel /bcdw/loader.bin
  append -


bcdw.ini
[InitOptions]

[MenuItems]
\boot\bootmgr

[MenuOptions]
MenuDefault		= 0
MenuTimer		= 1

@kof94
You can boot WinPE v2.x from ISOLinux.

Extract the boot sector and boot that from ISOLinux while having BOOTMGR on the root of your disc and the BOOT folder there too. If you don't change the BCD file then you need to have the wim file in a folder called SOURCES that exists on the root of the disc. I changed BCD to point to a wim in the BOOT folder to cut down on the number of folders in my root but it works fine either way. If you want to have a BOOTMGR menu with the correct labels you'll need to use the BOOTMGR file from pre-SP1 VISTA or pre WinPE 2.0. The boot process for VISTA\2008\PE2.X can be summed up like this: BOOTSECTOR -> BOOTMGR -> BOOT\BCD -> SOURCES\BOOT.WIM.


@killr
I think the only difference between the two different Ophcrack discs is the tables. So if you copy all the tables into one of the folders it should find both the Vista and the XP ones. Then you only need to multiboot two discs. :)


Cheers

I tried what you said to start with but couldn't get it to work. The boot sector just keeps returning something like "Cannot find BOOTMGR".

I'm not really a Vista user either, I just keep a copy of the Vista Recovery Disk to fix other peoples PC's so I don't really have anyway of editing the bootmgr.

I'll give it another go later and get back to you.
