Forum: EasyBoot Topic: My Journey.............. started by: ioniancat21 Posted by ioniancat21 on Nov. 16 2006,19:37
I, as many others here also have a custom BartPE CD as well as Memtest86+,Linux, etc., and have always thought about how great it would be to integrate them all. Anyway, while searching for the instructions on how to accomplish this, I noticed that users are finding this process to be a great burden. My advise to all would be to wait for a future EZBoot release or other that makes this process much more simple.To complete this task one must be confident at the command-line as well as scripting, editing CD and image files, knowing how to use a variety of different apps well, (Easyboot, UltraISO, WinImage, PEBuilder, etc)understanding many different file formats and their function. In short, unfortunately I would not suggest inexperienced computer users to venture in this direction as I believe this process to be too difficult for the average user. I suggest instead to download a pre-made CD that already has this functionality within it that your all looking for and can be customized to some extent. All you do is burn it and your done!!!

Again even today, I have been getting more and more questions about creating Multi-boot CD's and DVD's. Anyway like I said above, regardless of what program or files you use, the process is still way to difficult considering that more advanced tasks can be done with greater ease. This process should be simple, but due to the lack of programs addressing this task, the process has become cumbersome and confusing to most novice users. Even googling a FAQ on the subject brings conflicting answers and solutions, most not working or incomplete. Basically someone needs to come up with an program that would basically.1. let you point to images, disks or folders for the contents of the disk 2. create menus for selecting boot options 3. compile it all into a new .iso or image of choice It seems simple enough, a company that achieves it will single-handedly take all the other methods off the market instantly. Easyboot is close, they have the menu creation functionality, but the disk building portion is backward and stone age. The minute the instructions have users unzipping image files to a folder, your already going in the wrong direction. Why can't these apps mount these images or extract from CD's, which would be more logical and pull the content needed and subfolder it off to some temp folder. It's really stupid that this process should be this complex, these disks should practically make themselves. Posted by xoben on Nov. 18 2006,20:18
