Topic: Starting .Img files with parameters?

Hello there,

I was playing with the trial version of Easyboot (this thing rocks!) and i was curious if it's possible to startup .img files by passing parameters. The bcdw... wizard form Reanimatolog can do something like that.

So let's just say that i have one .img file compiled with little tiny DOS tools. I would like to start each time with different parameters.

I build a easyboot menu system

let's say:

Menu choice 1:
cd /;run myonlyimagefile.img myprogram1.exe

Menu choice 2:
cd /;run myonlyimagefile.img myprogram2.exe
....

and so on.

Would that work? or do i have to combine this with
bcdw.bin like

cd /;run bcdw.bin myonlyimagefile.img myprogram2.exe

in order to work


thanks a lot

Sorry, easyboot cannot pass parameters to .IMG file. You can create a BCDW script with right tweaks and use 'run bcdw.bin' to do so.

Thanks for your reply.

Would that be a possible option for the future versions?

I saw also a possibility with isolinux (which would give you an idea of implementing similar code in ezboot... cause it's open source)

take a look at the following thread:

< http://www.911cd.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=5706 >

I think building such a feature to ezboot wouldn't be a big problem.

I just think if bcdw.bin or memdisk or isolinux can do it then it's time to build this feature in version 5.0 of ezboot.

good luck[B]
