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.

This small piece of software checks or sets BIOS settings of the Award BIOS from within a running operating system. This BIOS is commonly used by PC-Engines in their ALIX-boards, for example in the ALIX.3D3 (AMD-LX800). www.trilogik.de

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).

Choose-OS (chos), is a modular and configurable boot loader for Linux/x86 - a program that is loaded by the BIOS before any operating systems. This program then lets you choose the operating system to boot and possibly enter parameters to it

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.

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.

Lightweight containers have made running a single process without normal init systems like systemd or sysvinit practical. However, omitting an init system often leads to incorrect handling of processes and signals, and can result in problems such as containers that can’t be gracefully stopped, or leaking containers that should have been destroyed. dumb-init is simple to use and solves many of these problems: you can just add it to the front of any container’s command, and it will take on the role of PID 1 for itself. It immediately spawns your process as PID ~2, and then proxies on any signals it receives. This helps to avoid special kernel behavior applied to PID 1, while also handling regular responsibilities of the init system (like reaping orphaned zombie processes). dumb-init is a simple process supervisor and init system designed to run as PID 1 inside minimal container environments (such as Docker). It is deployed as a small, statically-linked binary written in C.
