hello balder,
I've tried your way 2 times :
1. Fail to boot "mycd.iso" with error message like :
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Uncompressing Linux... OK, booting the kernel.
Stanix Boot Loader RC3
Can't find KNOPPIX filesystem, sorry
Dropping you to a (very limited) shell.
Press reset button to quit.
Welcome to Stanix Mini OS:
stanix#
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Boot ok till end and can see the Stanix desktop, it's fine. But when I use Winbuilder script "Easyboot-grub-iso" to transfer "mycd.iso" to my usb finger and boot , the same error message comes out like above error message !
Balder, I know you've tried and tried to help me all along, I fail you, I'm sorry to waste your time. I think this is the most hard stuff I've met since my first creation of bootmenu. So I think I've to give up this time or that will keep on spending your time.
Frankly speaking balder, I can hardly find a forum with a person like you to answer all the question and try to help them with your time and heart. All the way long, I've already made a lot of bootable iso under your tutorial. I really say thanks to your from my heart (what more can I ask for ?). Actually I can't go on from the beginning without balder-you. Thanks again.

Questions 
1. Did you check ”Joliet” and ”Allow lower case” in easyboot-grub-iso.script?
2. Did you first push the Button “Create ISO-file” before pushing "Make USB bootable and transfer ISO-build to USB"?
3. Important! What kind of USB device did you use – USB stick or a USB hard-disk unit?
Note: I have tested ISO created by easyboot-grub-iso.script in Virtual PC and it worked.
I then transferred build (pushed button "Make USB bootable and transfer ISO-build to USB") to a USB hard-disk – but that didn’t work as script uses NTFS on “fixed disk”-units. I therefore used a USB stick – and it worked okay.
Please be aware that using USB device is much more hazardous than using “standard” CD/DVD-solution. It is more like a game and need plenty of time and efforts to make it work as suggested

hello balder,
I've made the "mycd.iso" boot ok , it's normal. After I use Easyboot-grub-iso to make the "Stanix.iso" under C:\winbuilder_complete , I test it with vmware.
At the very first beginning , an error message comes out :
----------------------------------------------------------------------
chainloader (hd0)+1
Error 13: Invalid or unsupported executable format
Press any key to continue ...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
And that's why I can't continue with the USB portion. Thanks for your help.

hello balder,
Sorry for spending you too much time on Stanix, yesterday I burn this Stanix to CD and boot it up. I found that it can't be boot even in iso2cd burn. The same error message came out like before. So I think the Stanix.iso may have error itself and that's why I can't test it in usb drive. But it's very strange that I can boot in up all time time under VMWare in Windows ? So forget about this Stanix.
Anyway, today I've download any linux livecd. The first thing I do is to burn this iso to cd. It boots normally and fine. I test it under VMWare, it works ok also. I like it very much as it's only 258MB and boot up fast. Also, it has versions of Traditional Chinese, Simplify Chinese and English to choose at first boot.
It has many folder in this iso. As I don't know exactly what folder to extract to C:\EasyBoot\disk1 , so I extract all the contents of this iso to C:\EasyBoot\disk1. I don't delete anything in this iso under UltraISO , just keep the original one. I know the mycd.iso will be very big, but just let it be.
Then I use Winbuilder-Easyboot-iso script to make it and use command "run pud.img" as it was given. I save the iso to mycd.iso , then use Easyboot-usb script to usb drive. But it boots fail and can't go to the desktop screen ! Please help. Thanks
Download "pud-0.4.8.6-lxde.iso" at http://pud-linux.sourceforge.net/lxde.html

Took me more than 8 hours to download this ISO (slow server  )
Anyway – I managed to solve this issue - but it was a hard nut to crack 
Do it this way:
1. Make a copy of your “pud-linux” ISO-file to play with.
2. Open ISO with UltraIso and extract folder “casper” to the root of EasyBoot (folder disk1 is the root for EasyBoot if you wonder)
3. Delete folder “casper” inside ISO (folder “casper” isn’t needed there anymore as we have folder on the root)
4. Save reduced ISO-file with a new name.
5. Launch easyboot-iso.script and set name; Â PUDLXE Â to ISO-file (ISO-file must have exactly this name in script). Press start-button and choose reduced ISO-file
6. Download “PUDLXE.IMG.GZ” from HERE and put file as it is in folder ezboot overwriting already created “PUDLXE.IMG.GZ”
7. Use menu command in Easyboot: Â memdisk PUDLXE.IMG.GZ
8. When creating ISO check “Joliet” (checking “allow lower case” doesn’t affect PUDLXE.ISO but might be needed by some other software like Hiren’s)
9. You cannot be sure that “Virtual test” is working okay – you need to run test in “reality” to be sure.
10. To get this complete build onboard USB device - use easyboot-grub-iso.script – and check “Joliet” here to as EasyBoot-ISO-file is recreated in this script
11. IMPORTANT!!! Check that folder “casper” and file “filesystem.squashfs” has its names “lowercased” (small letters) – otherwise it doesn’t work from nowhere – including CD/DVD-unit. Note: it can happen that folder names in easyboot\disk1 is uppercased by some other scrip (when integrating Hiren’s) – then manually do lowercase to folder “casper” and file “filesystem.squashfs”
Note1: It wasn’t possible to use the “stage2”-menu that is used in ISO – I was forced to create a special “grub-kicker-image” to solve this issue. But I put in both English as “Simplified Chinese” as option to choose between.
Note2: I have updated script easyboot-grub-iso.script with two more options:
1. A check box; “Remove previously created files in folder WinBuilder_Complete\ISO”
2. A check box; “Force Format to FAT32” in “USB-Section”
You have to download the complete ZIP-file and replace old folder “WinBuilder_Complete”

hello balder,
quote : "Took me more than 8 hours to download this ISO "
For this reason a redownload the iso , with less than 3 minutes. The download speed is 4.5 to 5 MB averagely (not mb). My broadband is Hong Kong 100MB. Anyway I'm sorry to spend your time on download this iso as you are only helping me. Thanks.
I tried your way of making the "mycd.iso". It works fine. Also I can use stage2 (Traditional Chinese, It's my language). I think the reason I failed before is because after used Easyboot-iso script , that turned the folder and content of "casper" to CAPITAL letter. So you are really clever enough and spent time on this.
But I failed in usb drive boot in 2 ways :
1. I use Easyboot-usb script to write "mycd.iso" to usb drive that boots fail.
2. I use Easyboot-grub-iso script to write a new "abc.iso" in "C:\winbuilder_complete" , then use Easyboot-usb script to write this "abc.iso" to usb drive , when boot, it boot and restart to the first menu ?
Any idea ? It doesn't matter if I can't solve the usb drive boot Linux. As you have already gave the the cd/dvd boot Linux answer already. Thanks again.

hello nordi2005 ,
Thanks very much for your advise and help. Thanks.
Firstly I don't want anybody's multiboot cd/dvd. As some others know it this site, that they want to make their own cd/dvd/usb multiboot that would exactly fit their own requirement and have fun on achievement. Or may be I can add some other new stuff any time I want. Of course you are helping, thanks.
Secondly, I don't want a mix cd/dvd/usb to have xp/vista/7 together (I think a blueray disc can do). I think the main purpose of this kind of disc is only for setting up windows conveniently. But I myself have the more convenient way. I don't install windows. I restore universal windows images (xp/vista/7). My images include os , all software, drivers and even ahci drivers for that HP notebooks that can't change the bios to ide for setting up windows xp with a bluescreen.
I'm here is to say thank you , and not discussing how I made my images. As this is forum of multiboot discusion.
Again , I really appreciate your suggestion and help , at least I can learn a lot from the site you mentioned. Thanks again and hope you can keep on helping me like helping the others.

Hmmm… Surely the USB device itself do BOOT and in fact you surely also can launch EasyBoot menu as well – correct? But when launching PUTLXE.ISO it fails as grub “kicker-image” isn’t able to find any ISO as root is hided inside ISO – don’t you agree?
That’s why I designed script “easyboot-grub-iso” that solves the “root”-problem!
Quote: “I use Easyboot-grub-iso script to write a new "abc.iso" in "C:\winbuilder_complete" , then use Easyboot-usb script to write this "abc.iso" to usb drive , when boot, it boot and restart to the first menu ?” Yes sure, but can you continue and finally get “PUTLXE” up and run as I did when using my own “kicker-image” (I didn’t use the original “PUTLXE”-menu)
Anyway - I draw the conclusion that problem is solved – correct? 
Quote: “I think the reason I failed before is because after used Easyboot-iso script , that turned the folder and content of "casper" to CAPITAL letter”
Yes you are right in your conclusion.
It’s correct that script run uppercase – but this too can be avoided - if you check “Do not run uppercase to file and folder names” in script.
However this uppercase-thing might be needed by some other reason – if having setup-files from the NT5-family (WinXP setup-files for example) on CD/DVD.
Quote: “can use stage2 (Traditional Chinese, It's my language).”
This is interesting – I couldn’t take advantages of this – I was forced to “cut out” grub-lines from ISO and launch my own “grub-kicker-image” that worked fine.
The broadband issue…
I too have of course high-speed broadband. The problem I experienced was that I several times got: “All available slots to you are occupied. Try later” – and that from a “public server”
And when I finally was able to start download, it was really slow – but I have other thing going on while waiting for a download  - reworking my house – and taking care of my grandchild that runs with turbo around me
She’s only 18 month old but seems to have built-in turbo system in both legs – combined with “long and quick fingers” that finds everything that She shouldn’t touch (hiding my USB-sticks for example ). The remote-control to the TV-set is gone (hided) somewhere – guess who
