  • Oh dude, I give up.

    Have you any idea if this works with Android x86 and Puppy?

    As these distributions seem to have different files and folders, I'm kinda confused about what to edit, to replace and so on.

  • @MegaManNeo: I'll look into it.

  • @MegaManNeo: can you send me a link to which version of Android you are using?

  • I am using Ubuntu 9.10 to do the configuration. I am trying to use Unetbootin to set up a multi boot usb that will boot Ubuntu 9.10 and Ubuntu 10.10. One of the problems is that both iso's create folders with the same names. So I tried to put one of the live images in a folder and edit the linuxsys.cfg to look for the kernal there but I got an error saying it couldn't find the initrd. I think the only way to do it is to partition the usb and use grub.

  • @arboryvan: You need to rename the fold. I go over that in this video, and you must have missed it.  Watch this video again.

  • @arboryvan: And you don't need separate partitions. Whether you are using Unetbootin or using GRUB2 to boot ISO files you only need one partition. Both ways are loading the Linux file system from an image.  So the number of partitions doesn't matter. The reason you may be getting the "couldn't find initrd" error is because you didn't tell it to look for the initrd in the fold you renamed.

  • Thank you very much for making these videos! Very helpful!

  • @metalx1000 Sure!

    I'll send you a PM with the links.

  • @metalx1000 Thank you.

    Until then, I'll stay with Puppy alone but Android-x86 is indeed fun to use.

    You should give it a try if you haven't already.

  • probar la aplicacion "multisystem", tambien sirve para hacer multiboot en un liveusb

    test the application "multisystem", also serves to make multiboot in liveusb

  • @metaix1000.. Sorry, I couldn't find an email address for you. Ya, I saw that you changed the folder name but I think part of the problem is that Ubuntu 9.10 and 10.10 have folders folders and files with the same names (syslinux, dists, ldlinux.sys etc.) when they are extracted and they over wrote each other. The other thing is that that the kernal is called "vmlinuz" with no version number.
