Integrating Fedora4 into Multi-Boot DVD

[scrappysphinx]

Hello all,

I have followed the flyakite tutorial and have created a working Multiboot DVD containing:

WinXP Home SP2 Setup & Unattended Setup

WinXP Pro SP2 Setup & Unattended Setup

Win2k Pro SP4 Setup

WinME Setup

Win98SE Setup

Ghost 2003

Partition Magic 8

ERD Commander 2005

I would like to add the possibilty of a Linux Installation (Fedora4 is the only one i have) from this same DVD.

Is it possible to add this to the boot menu (using cd shell) and how would i go about doing this.

Any information is GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks

Try this

Get the DVD image of the Fedora core

Keep the DVD structure as in the image to the root of u r DVD

the set the cd shell option to boot to isolinux.bin in the isolinux directory

Thanks for the suggestion, i'm downloading the DVD image now (I have the 4 cd's).

I'll let you know how it turns out.

Thanks Again

if u havin the cd images ,try to copy all the cd files to the DVD root and overwrite the repeating files

then do a trial on a DVD-rw

am unsure of it

Will work, provided you just obtain the ".discinfo" file from DVD.

And if you're downloading the fedora DVD anyways, you might as well download fedora core 5 instead! Its got much better hardware support!

Thanks again for the help so far guys.

I have now downloaded the FC4 DVD and copied the entire contents to my AIO-DVD folder.

i added this line

if $lastKey == key[8]; then chain /ISOLINUX/ISOLINUX.BIN

to my cdshell.ini file.

When i boot the dvd in Virtual PC 2004 the boot menu loads fine and all options work (e.g. pressing 1 begins xp home sp2 setup) but when i press 8 to begin the Fedora Install i get the following error:

ISOLINUX 3.08 2005-05-19 isolinux: Image checksum error, sorry...

Boot Failed: press a key to retry...

Any more help greatly appreciated.

Thanks again

Okay, i changed the line

if $lastKey == key[8]; then chain /ISOLINUX/ISOLINUX.BIN

so it now reads

if $lastKey == key[8]; then memdisk /isolinux/isolinux.bin

it now loads and comes to the following screen and just hangs

Ok, i scanned through the forum and seeing other posts decided linux was too much of a problem to add to the aiodvd.

Thanks for all the help anyway guys.
