Yard is a suite of Perl scripts for creating custom boot/rescue/Linux-on-a-floppy disks. You specify a basic set of files and utilities for inclusion and Yard handles the details, including checking for errors, omissions and inconsistencies.

Merge the Solaris downstream version of GRUB legacy GPL source code into GRUB4DOS

a2webd created to facilitate launch a2web a lightweight Web User Interface for aria2 with remote control support for downloads

Ein Programm um z.B. USB-Sticks oder Samba Freigaben(NAS Laufwerke) dauerhaft, bei jedem Systemstart zu mounten oder zu entfernen. Verzeichnisse werden automatisch erstellt oder entfernt. Die Partitionen können im Dateibrowser z.B. Caja, einfach per rechte Maustaste hinzu- gefügt oder entfernt werden. neue Updates für Manjaro evtl. auch auf UBUNTU und DEBIAN Lauffähig um Freigaben leicht ohne sudo oder fstab per Gvfs im selben Verzeichnis zu verbinden siehe: https://sourceforge.net/projects/click-mount-samba-here/

A minimal linux rescue distribution with the goals of being small, compatible and very usable. Features as a cozy shell and a multitude of partition rescue/editing tools all based on up-to-date releases like 2.4.x kernel with USB support etc.

Small program for enumerate all the PCI and USB devices in system, check if the device is supported by the kernel, automatically load necessary modules for this devices. Used in small embedded systems with less disk space and stripped kernel features.

autoswap is a tool (written in Perl) that allows for swap space to be created automatically based upon the amount of RAM in the machine or configuration. Useful for cluster configuration.

bbiso is a shell script used to build a CD image for a bootable Linux system running entirely in RAM on a PC platform. An example file system image is provided. It is a rewrite and update of Philip Howard's bick-0.8.0 package.

biosconfig is a flexible tool to automate CMOS non-volatile store parameter modification.

a new kind of OS. just an experimental and limited system to test a new concept based of user centric view, but nothing is done because it's "normal" in all OSes , everything is thinked again. The aim is to manage information (represented as XML) wit

Blob is a boot loader for SA11x0 (StrongARM) platforms. Blob is able to boot a Linux kernel stored in flash or RAM and provide that kernel with a ramdisk (again from flash or RAM).

The bootd project allows netbooting a wide variety of clients using different protocols using one configuration and one server daemon, with good configurability and diagnostics.

Bootdisk lets you create boot and root disks for booting linux. These disks should permit rescue when normal boot is no more available. Bootdisk makes possible quick tests adjusting your set of utilities.

just like visudo, wrap the details of re-creating the /boot.scr file after editing it's source /boot.cmd . Packaged for Slackware ARM

Install, Accept, List, Remove and Set New, Current and Old linux kernels in the /boot directory. Inspired by the linux kernel "make install" target, and the /sbin/installkernel shell script. A profile "~/bootkernel.conf" or "/etc/bootkernel.conf" controls all aspects of bootkernel's behaviour - your chosen naming conventions, whether to maintain symbolic or hard links or neither, which filesystems (if any) need mounting and unmounting, and whether to delete redundant /lib/modules directories when removing the last corresponding kernel. "Install" copies kernel and other selected files to /boot, adding a ".new" extension. "Accept" moves current /boot files to ".old" extension, and moves those with ".new" to current, "List" shows all the kernels in /boot, marked as "new", "old", "current" and "executing" where applicable "Remove" deletes a specified kernel and associated files from /boot. "Set" modifies the targets of ".new" ".old" and the implicit .current links if any.

This is a really simple BOOTP server, which uses NIS maps to retrieve host information (host name, IP address).

cinit is a fast, parallel booting, true dependency supporting init system with support for profiles.

Set of tools needed to setup and maintain encrypted partitions under unix systems (initially linux). Especially helpfull when doing root device encryption. Features xml configuration, multiple users, usb "tokens" (usb mass storage) and key hierarchy.

Backups specified files (e.g. system/ini files); Newer versions optimized for windows compatibility (backups regestry & some system files) Written in QuickBasic 4.5

CULT is an Open Source software-only network bootable thin client Operating System that provides a complete solution for thin clients, PCs or virtualized hardware.

daemontools is a collection of tools for managing UNIX services

A GUI frontend for dd to create bootable ISO images for Linux.

Depinit is an alternative init program that can handle parallel execution, dependencies, true roll-back, pipelines, improved signaling and unmounting filesystems on shutdown. It incorporates ideas from sysvinit, simpleinit, daemontools and make. At present, it is a bit experimental, and requires good knowledge of the initialisation process to set up.

Generic, modular initramfs generation tool that can be used across various distributions.
