| genii-around | tonyyarusso: http://joeyh.name/blog/entry/Debian_USB_install_from_hybrid_iso/ | 00:22 |
| genii-around | tonyyarusso: Basically, you can make CDs/DVDs contain an HFS or FAT/NTFS etc bootable filesystem as well as the ISO fs. The result is you can dd the image directly to an USB stick or hard drive and it works. No unetbootin and so on | 00:31 |
| tonyyarusso | hrm | 00:32 |
| tonyyarusso | What I actually want to do is make a USB stick with a folder full of ISOs, and have a grub menu that points to all of them. | 00:33 |
| tonyyarusso | I have a big USB stick, and would like to just fill it with a bunch of different installers and Live CDs. | 00:33 |
| genii-around | tonyyarusso: Might be interested in http://sourceforge.net/projects/multibootusb/ | 00:34 |
| tonyyarusso | I know grub can boot an ISO, but I'm not sure how to accomplish it. | 00:34 |
| tonyyarusso | genii-around: Yeah, that's what I've been using. I'd describe it as "finicky". | 00:35 |
| genii-around | Hm. | 00:35 |
| tonyyarusso | Reading https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/ISOBoot atm | 00:36 |
| Jordan_U | tonyyarusso: http://www.supergrubdisk.org/wiki/Loopback.cfg#How_do_you_use_a_loopback.cfg_to_boot_an_iso.3F | 00:37 |
| Jordan_U | tonyyarusso: And if you'd like, I can also give you a grub.cfg that will search for such isos in a given directory at boot, so that to add a new iso you simply copy it to this directory, and it will show up in the menu at boot automagically. | 00:40 |
| tonyyarusso | Jordan_U: that'd be great | 00:40 |
| Jordan_U | tonyyarusso: http://git.berlios.de/cgi-bin/cgit.cgi/supergrub/plain/menus/autoiso.cfg?h=baells This script searches all partitions on all drives for directories at the path '/boot-isos/' or '/boot/boot-isos' and then loops through any iso files in these directories and if they have a loopback.cfg uses that, and if they don't has some hard coded support for some distributions (Ideally I'd like to have loopback.cfg adopted ... | 00:44 |
| Jordan_U | ... broadly enough that I can remove this). | 00:44 |
| Jordan_U | tonyyarusso: You could use a much more simple script if you limited it to only a directory on a single filesystem (your USB drive), and only isos containing a loopback.cfg (all of the official Ubuntu flavors, except alternate and mini, since around 10.04). | 00:46 |
| tonyyarusso | hmm | 00:48 |
| tonyyarusso | Speaking of which, how are you supposed to do text-based installs with the removal of the alternate CD in 12.10? | 00:48 |
| tonyyarusso | Does Debian support loopback.cfg? | 00:48 |
| Jordan_U | tonyyarusso: Unfortunately no (at least not last time I checked). | 00:51 |
| tonyyarusso | bother | 00:56 |

| IdleOne | jrib: all my searches on that app brings up torrent sites and cracks | 16:43 |
| jrib | IdleOne: yeah same here, but I have no idea what it is | 16:44 |
| IdleOne | Looks like it is a 3d graphic app | 16:45 |
| IdleOne | he could probably just install blender and be done with it | 16:45 |
