Window Wiper is a simple Windows .NET 2.0 application that allows for persistent removal of unwanted registry keys, specifically "runkeys." It is designed to ensure that unwanted software is NEVER allowed to run when Windows starts.

This tool runs as a window service to start and stop rails server on a path and port specified in the .config "C:|Program Files|MA|Rails App Launcher" file on the windows OS.

onmac (aka winxponmac aka XOM) is a tool that allows you to boot windows xp on an intel mac. Similar to Apple's boot camp. This software is open source and will allow users to boot windows XP after the boot camp beta expires.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

Operating system project from scratch to design and implement all components from boot strapping,hardware interrupts , memory manger ,file system , etc .

eINIT is an Init System for POSIX-compliant operating systems. The primary focus is on speed and modularity and, unlike other init systems, this one can be used in combination with others. Benchmarks suggest that einit is faster than initng and upstart.

An encrypted root overlay fs. Provides initrd data. For instructional use only.

Another hobby OS.

This is a branch from the fxload project, originally part of the linux-hotplug SourceForge project which seems to be abandoned. This branch incorporates the patch from Steven J. Magnani that adds support for Cypress FX3 USB 3.0 endpoint to the fxload utility. It has been tested on Ubuntu 12.04 with the FX3 development kit (part number CYUSB3KIT-001). Oddly, as of January 2013 Cypress doesn't include this utility with its (open source) Linux SDK but requires developers to purchase a copy of MS Windows to be able to program the board. This SourceForge project contains no new code.
