I have my multiboot DVD in the disk1 directory and I want to load a Linux boot loader .bin from OUTSIDE the ezboot directory.
It seems I can only point to boot loaders that are located within the ezboot directory.

Can someone tell me how to point to .bin files outside the ezboot directory? There surely is a way to do this isnt there? If there isn't is there another graphical tool I can buy that can do this?

Also is there a way to rename the ezboot directory?

Thanks,
Jamie.

Ok guys I think I found my own answer! I will have to extract the boot info table with another program and stick it in the ezboot directory.
This is still a pain in the butt because now I have to create new bootable ISOs of Linux.

I mean realy, is it so hard to add a feature to point to a boot loader anywhere on the disk?

Radiokid,

Why don't you just put your linux boot loader in the ezboot folder?

Hi, I just wanted to add that incorporating Linux was very easy after I stuck them boot loaders in and used the bootinfotable command. This product is great.
