  1. As I mentioned above it will be implemented... Obviously missed it, great. Not sure about this. This program usually for the clean system installation but I will think about it. I would urge you to consider it. Writing scripts for each app to check if it's already installed could get tedious and I'm sure others would find it useful as well. What a hell. One time some program on my system stolen my website FTP password from Total Commander and someone put an exploit to my website. It was there for 1-2 days. So now google thinks it's a bad site I didn't know about it. Thanks. And that software was a normal program (I think it was Russian Internet Download Accelerator) because I'm not a newbie and I have NOD32 and never using IE. At least you now.
  2. @Jetman For the last month I've been living in the land of Linux (currently PCLinuxOS 2007) and XP has been banished to VirtualBox. In the last couple of days I've started to build a new multi-boot disc using K3B to create my iso's. Everything's been going well up until now (adding Linux distro's and utils) but I've just ran into a problem... Windows! For some reason when I execute the boot sector it cannot find the disc, more specifically setupldr.bin. I can only assume it's something to do with my iso's image settings. At present I have them set to Unix+Windows, Boot-info-table, Boot load size 4. Can you point me in the right direction with this, pleeeeese Edit: Nevermind, disabling RockRidge seams to have solved the problem!
  3. @Marsianin I came across your prog this morning and I've just spent an hour playing with it. I'm a long time WPI user, however, since I primarily use Linux now I'm finding it hard to populate a full screen of apps for Windows. So here's where Mars Installer comes in, it's small, easy to configure and looks good... just what I need. There are a few things missing though (or I've just missed them) that I'd like you to concider: 1. Dependency checks - In situation were a program is dependant of another, if the parent program is unchecked so is the child and visa-versa. e.g. If Paint.NET is checked it automatically checks .NET Framework and if .NET Framework is unchecked so is Paint.NET. 2. Grey conditions - If a program is already installed it is disabled from re-installation. Easiest way to do this would be to add a checking system e.g if exists %programfiles%\MyProg\MyProg.exe. Apart from these few things I think it's an excellent prog. -kof94 One other thing... Why is your site black listed by Google as containing malware?
  4. Isolinux all the way. You can also find a mini guide right here in the forum. Might seam daunting at first but believe me, it's much easier to use than CDShell or BCDW and it's still in active development.
  5. In the same dir as your I386 dir. I do things slightly different but for convenience sake... If you've read Flyakite's guide I believe your folder structure would look like this: Tag files: ~/DISC/WIN51 ~/DISC/WIN51IP ~/DISC/WIN51IP.SP2 Boot files: ~/DISC/PRO1/* Setup files: ~/DISC/SETUP/PROFESSIONAL/I386/* ~/DISC/SETUP/PROFESSIONAL/$OEM$/* ~/DISC/SETUP/PROFESSIONAL/WIN51 ~/DISC/SETUP/PROFESSIONAL/WIN51IP ~/DISC/SETUP/PROFESSIONAL/WIN51IP.SP2 Txtsetup.sif defines the root of your source files in the SetupSourcePath string. So, in this case, after txtmode setup has run txtsetup.sif will define /SETUP/PROFESSIONAL/ as the folder containing your setup files this includes the I386 dir and $OEM$ dir.
  6. Your locations and commands seem fine. The only thing I think could be causing u a prob is mkisofs. Try adding joliet to your iso. Sorry to be abit vague but I personally never used mkisofs to create images. In Windows I used cdimage and now in linux I use K3B (which uses mkisofs... sort of). The reason I say try adding joliet is I remember reading somewhere that your need it for Knoppix to boot and since DSL is a small ver of Knoppix... Sorry I did say this earlier but it just dawned on me!
  7. I can't remember what program I needed to install that used ZeroG but I remember that none of the supposed switches worked. I also remember that AutoIt was a no go. My suggestion to u would be to build a new installer using Inno or something else to your taste.
  8. Can u post your isolinux.cfg or any other config file thats related, your disc structure (just a representation), and how your creating your iso i.e. cdimage, mkisofs, k3b, nero (god forbid) etc. I'll dl DSL now and see what I can find out. Edit: Tried it out with no probs. * Copy KNOPPIX dir to root of your disc. * Copy linux24 and minirt24.gz from /boot/isolinux/ (on DSL disc) to a dir of your choice (on your disc), I chose /isolinux/dsl/. * Assuming you've used my locations add this to your menu (without **** and word wrap): LABEL dsl MENU LABEL **** Small Linux 3.3 KERNEL dsl/linux24 APPEND ramdisk_size=100000 init=/etc/init lang=us apm=power-off vga=791 initrd=dsl/minirt24.gz nomce noapic quiet BOOT_IMAGE=knoppix * Create image. I used K3B for this but if your in Win then I suggest cdimage or mkisofs. Done
  9. Sry, abandoned the gfxboot idea again. New syslinux pkg is out with some good updates to vesamenu that negates me switching. If your a Ubuntu (or deb) user I've found a better prog to UCK... Reconstructor. From what I can see this prog was used to create parts of Linux Mint, which is also worth a look. Later.
  10. /dev/sda is actually in the isolinux.cfg file on the gparted LiveCD, so I left it alone. However, your mention of SCSI/SATA/USB made a light go on in my head. Changeing /dev/sda to dev/cda, and that seems better. This is the default boot option from the GParted 0.3.4-7 LiveCD: LABEL GParted MENU LABEL GParted-liveCD 0.3.4-7 (auto-configuration) KERNEL /boot/gparted APPEND initrd=/boot/gparted.igz root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc real_root=/dev/loop0 looptype=squashfs loop=/gparted.dat udev dokeymap scandelay=6 cdroot dodmraid nosound docache I took this from the grub menu so I've had to move things around abit to be isolinux friendly, it's still the same boot command though. What were you saying about cdroot...
  11. Personally, I would try leaving gparted.dat at the root of the disc and remove any appended locations from cdroot i.e. "cdroot=/dev/sda". I hate to point out the obvious but I think your over complicating things by hard coding this command. Besides gparted.dat is only one extra file at the root of your disc! Edit: Where it you get /dev/sda from anyway? You don't seam to have any SCSI/SATA/USB devices attached!
  12. lol . Seriously... I've been using the same switches you've quoted for some time now. I haven't check the latest installer but if there isn't a switch to disable first run anymore you may want to resort to using an AutoIt script. I can't say I'll make one for you since I seam to be using Windows less and less these days.
  13. @eriqjaffe There's only two things I can think of: 1. Your right about appending commands to cdroot. 2. The isolinux version that's integrated in to CDShell is way out of date and the author has no intention of updating CDShell anymore either. My suggestion would be to abandon it for isolinux/sylinux. Thats what I did!
  14. Dude, it's been nearly eighteen months since I posted that, I can't even remember myself .
  15. That's quite a collection! I'm not all that knowledgeable when it comes to kernel errors, however, if I look at yours logically I would say that "determining root device" means that the kernel couldn't find the gparted.dat file (compressed filesystem file) to cache. I have a few questions: Is gparted.dat at the root of your disc? What version of the GParted LiveCD are you using? How have you created your disc i.e. what program with which switches? Are you trying to boot GParted on a laptop? (seams stupid but I've never had any problems with desktops, even older ones) The current ver I'm using is 0.3.4-6. (I know 0.3.4-7 is out but that was a week after my current build ) and I can't say I've really had any problems with it.
  16. Glad I could help. I'd never really thought about your second method before, that's not a bad idea.
  17. By looking at your disc layout I can see your missing your tag files from the root of the disc. I know you have them in your new locations but you must have them at the root of the disc as well. Just to clarify, take these files and copy them to the root of your disc (G:\CD_Root\)! G:\CD_Root\OS\XP\PRO\WIN51 G:\CD_Root\OS\XP\PRO\WIN51IP G:\CD_Root\OS\XP\PRO\WIN51IP.SP2 This will more than likely fix your problem.
  18. If your going to re-site the Windows XP setup files you will need to update txtsetup.sif of their new location. This is all explained in Flyakite's guide!
  19. This topic of gfxboot has got me interested in it again, the only problem is I can't even find a home page for it let-alone any docs. According to one post in the syslinux mailing list "it's uglier than hell to configure" but I still think it looks and performs better than vesamenu. If anyones up for it could we possibly look in to this and try to pool some information for guide? I'm nearly finished with my migration to Ubuntu (I just need a few more apps for specific tasks) so I'm gonna take a look at the UCK - Ubuntu Customization Kit that Jet was talking about, since it is supposed to handle gfxboot customisation. If I learn anything I'll post it here. -kof94
  20. What I mean is... You would be breaking the freeware lic to distribute the installer as part of a package (it makes more sense if you read it)! But... you wouldn't (theoretically) be breaking the lic if your clients downloaded the installer directly from the Grisoft site and then installed the program. However, your client would still have to be using the program for personal use. benner's script does exactly that... downloads the installer and runs a silent installation! Does that make better sense? Personally speaking, I'm not bothered but it's a good idea.
  21. Sounds good but I think you should post this in the unattended Windows forum .
  22. Sorry about that, I never checked it before posting . You are correct though, there doesn't seem to be any params for language selection. I can only assume it is performed on the fly, might be something to do with gfx or should I say gfxboot. There is very little written (that I can find) about this menu system so I can't really comment.
  23. CDSwitch 0.85b can be found here and it works a charm.
  24. I don't know about WinFLP but Acronis True Image is easy enough. I've just reinstall my system and I haven't got everything to hand at the minute but if you search this forum or even Google it you'll find answers very quickly.
