  • Changes to UBCD web forum

    I have finally bitten the bullet and upgraded the web forum to the latest version of phpBB, dropping the m2f module in the process. The m2f module makes pretty deep modifications to phpBB's core, which makes it more difficult to update phpBB regularly. ...

    For better or for worse, I am making UBCD V4.0 available for download today after a short beta test. This released is based on syslinux/isolinux instead of CDShell. I am abandoning the latter due to its lack of further development, while ...

  • Help required for testing

    I am considering making the new boot disk based on LZ-DOS (Russian MS-DOS 7.10 compatible kernel with LFN-support) default for the next release of UBCD, instead of the current one based on FreeDOS. According to Erwin, the maintainer for the DOS boot ...
