I gotta write some readme stuff and fix some config files anyway, I think I'm gonna add alien bob's slack-13 mini.iso to the kit too it's got cfdisk and can rescue a installed slack system right? that should put it at 700mb anybody gonna critique it for me? Where's Trooper he should be game... |

Hi Linus72,
Looking forward to downloading and trying it. The screenshots look great by the way. Kind regards, Eric |
theres actually a messed up version here
I just forgot to edit the isolinux.cfg to say DarkMagic or it says 4.5 instaed of 4.4 you can extract it and check it out dude I burned it to cd-r and it works good but if you want put it on fat32 usb Remember theres a script (make_iso.sh) in the /boot folder to recreate the iso:) REMOVED LINK (bad pipe) and it don't have slack in it and zoros is messed up get it just to see grml-magix/darkmagic their nice:) I gotta go do a 10-hr day will post link for uploaded(now uploading) fixed ThorsHammer-090109.iso/zip |
I'm t t tr tre trem embling.

Alright
it's all done and uploaded here's the iso 696mb with md5sum http://multidistro.com/downloads/ham...mer-090109.iso md5sum 13a06dd53cff5f593a601ba830009bc0 here's the zip, remember, it's the same as the iso just in zip form for those who don't have access to a cd burner or just wanna install to usb/hd http://multidistro.com/downloads/ham...mer-090109.zip zip md5sum c19cc79151a09a4976c1055c4551492c Notes: You goota have a recent version of syslinux to get the graphical boot menu If you use Unetbootin to instal to usb it wont run right. Instructions to install to fat32 usb: Simply download and unzip directly into your usb or into a folder, then to usb Or From the running cd, if you burnt to cd use Pmagic-4.4(darkmagic) to copy everything to usb and then use pmagic to install syslinux Installing to ext2/3 usb grub is already setup just copy to usb , install grub, and boot Making a custom iso you can download the zip pkg and transform it into an iso using the script in /boot folder make_iso.sh in terminal ./make_iso.sh and then give it a name ending in .iso, like mycd.iso if any problems or issues please post here! I am writing all the docs still:) OH, to run grml-magix persistent from hd/usb or cd make a "live-rw" partition or a "live-rw" file http://live.debian.net/manual/html/persistence.html Pmagic has it's opwn save function as does puppy. Also, grml/pmagic and puppy have flash10 pre-installed into the squashfs's:) any thoughts, questions or ridicule LOL have fun! |
Spain is already shaking all over; I'm downloading tomorrow from work.
Thanks a lot Linux72. Kind regards, Eric |

Whats really cool is how I made it so
it will bot from cd, from fat32 or ext2/3 usb and from hd too! You can install it(the extracted iso/zip) into a Ubuntu or slack partition too! Just copy the folders GRML, live, and pmagic to your hd, either in its own partition or inside a ubuntu/slack,etc partition heres mine grml-magix and pmagic in my Ultimate-Edition partition see screenshot then just also copy the folder /boot/grmlsid into your /boot folder and setup your grub menu.lst to boot grml/pmagic use the mneu.lst in cd /boot/grub/pmagic-menu.lst and /boot/grub/grml-menu.lst just add these entries to your existing menu.lst Code:
title GRML-Magix Menuthis can also be a partition with an installed system inside simply make a "live-rw" file of whatever size Code:
$ dd if=/dev/null of=live-rw bs=1G seek=1 # for a 1GB sized image filethen use the "persistent" cheatcode PMagic can save settings to a hd too or usb anybody check it out yet? I need feedback cause it's like proofreading your own book other's opinions are better:) AND all the members here who answer my constant questions you helped make this as much as I did so, it really is yours too Dig? |
OK
I just downloaded and then installed to my usb then used grml-magix's k3b to burn the iso to cd-r I even used an old usb dvd-rw lite-on and it did it flawlessly too I think I did a good job on this one:) anybody wanna remaster their own? I'm writing the how-to's now OH remember here's whats in it grml-medium-daily-sid 0827 http://daily.grml.org/ Parted Magic 4.4 http://partedmagic.com/ RescuePuppy-beta, which is browserlinux-0809+ dd rescue/testdisk/photorec and more http://www.browserlinux.com/ ZorOS-3.6 http://linux.softpedia.com/get/Syste...OS-46457.shtml alien bobs mini iso slack 13 http://connie.slackware.com/~alien/slackboot/mini/ Netbootcd-3.1.2 http://netbootcd.tuxfamily.org/ and mini partedmagic http://beefdrapes.partedmagic.com/ and plop bootmanager http://www.plop.at/en/bootmanager.html It can boot a usb on a non-boot-from-usb computer too I use it everyday to boot my pc that won't boot from usb burn thorshammer to cd-r and use plop to boot your usb's:) also includes supergrubdisk and others too |
Wow! this is really something!
Thanks heaps for your efforts, I am dl'ing asap, maybe 2 sept (tomorrow, my time). Regards Glenn |
Thanks Glenn
a note too for new grml users the only desktop in grml-magix is fluxbox and you start it when grml loads it wwill load to a console gui thing and will ask what you wanna do, grml-x or grml-network, etc so, to start fluxbox enter x and then enter f Ther is a BUG in grml-network too dhcp will be brought up at boot but, if you chooes grml-network from menu and your running "persistent" it will delete your dhcp stuff at reboot ad you will have to manually do grml-network at each boot:( But, I fixed as best I could by bringing up eth0/eth1, etc at boot as long as you NEVER do grml-network it s all good also, I just found out a way to autostartx fluxbox in grml-magix thanks to azhag check out his distro here http://hag-linux.eu.org/ hes got the coolest fluxbox I've ever seen and I'm gonna try to add his "devices" menu and the toolbar volume app to my grml-magix + nodm http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...nybody-746023/ so, tell me if anybodys actually tried it yet too thanks |

Hi Linus72,
I downloaded the zip yesterday, formatted my 32Gb USB (fat32) and extracted the zip onto it. Quote:
Is it easier to install under Linux? I got two Linux machines at home also, so if that's easier... Kind regards, Eric |
