fbsplash is a userspace implementation of a splash screen for Linux systems. It provides a graphical environment during system boot using the Linux framebuffer layer. It follows a design policy of being simple, lightweight and fast.

LeopardAssist assists in the process of install OS X Leopard on machines that did not meet the minimum system requirement of an 867MHz or faster processor. It achieves this by temporarily writing a script into the NVRAM of your G4-based Mac. Executed at startup, this script will temporarily force the system to report that a faster processor is installed, allowing the Leopard installer to successfully complete its minimum system requirements check. This allows Leopard to be installed from unmodified installation media or another bootable device. LeopardAssist handles the interaction with Open Firmware, specifying the target processor speed, the number of physical processors in the system, the desired boot device and any additional startup flags to simplify the installation and configuration process.

Minirighi is a multi-threading open-source operating system written for didactic purpose. It has been written from scratch and it is compatible with POSIX.

Create a bootable USB drive with the click of a button! This is tool built for linux to create bootable USBs. This tool is very simple and requires only a USB drive and a .iso image (can be obtained from the distributor of your desireed operating system). This program was written in C for ease and simplicity. To run this program download it, then fire up a terminal, navigate to your downloads folder (this can be done by typing 'cd Downloads/' from your home directory), then type 'chmod +x Linux-Live-USB-Creator' to make it an executable, then your can execute it by typing './Live-USB-Creator' (note: do not use the quotes '' in the terminal). After that all you have to do is follow the on-screen directions to create your bootable USB!

aboot is the Linux bootloader for Alpha systems using the SRM console. This package also includes the utilities isomarkboot, swriteboot and sdisklabel.

fat_imgen is a utility you can use to create and modify FAT12 floppy images with.

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.

A linux from windows installer, that is, an installer that runs on Windows and installs linux.

A pxe boot environment with recovery tools and a redhat kickstart environment

This program boots the install bootmgr/ntldr for any given ISO file. Make a multiboot windows USB key with Syslinux and FiraDisk. Put one key in your pocket and install multiple versions of windows anywhere. Formats with NTFS. Note: stored iso files must be contiguious... Try any fragmentation program. zzz. Example: 1. copy a large file then delete it from usb.- leave space. 2. run the entire fragmentation process. 3. edit menu.lst in /boot/grub (rename previous iso) 4. boot syslinux. 5. boot grub 7. run gparted 8. delete and reformat partion. 9. COPY CONENTS OF ISO to new partion. 10. boot syslinux 11. boot grub 12. run iso goo.gl/7sVxts A working version with a Mini Windows 10 is in the files section. <3 WARNING NOTE: Make sure the usb disk is for squirrel usb only. lol delete. reformat. $5 etc. Any backtracking will become horridly confused to spoils! Editing the menu by booting the example entries may not be toothsome. Edit files carefully

This project develops user space tools used for hibernation (suspend-to-disk) and suspend (suspend-to-RAM or standby) on Linux systems.

Cobalt ROM source code - x86 BIOS replacement for Cobalt hardware

DruidBSD is a FreeBSD micro-distribution that supports CD/DVD, USB, and HD booting into a Live BSD Distribution.

This project provides a Live DVD for the multibootusb program, for installing multiple Linux Distros on to a single Pen drive and able to boot from it. This is a portable system, which does not require any installation. Video Below. This system can be started through the DVD Drive OR VirtualBox (See Below). This .iso file can also be written on to a small dedicated pen drive ( ~ 1 GB ) through this DVD's multibootusb program and further used for writing linux images on to other pen drives ( not on the same ! ) thereby making everything portable. Note: Click "+ Other Locations" on the file manager for opening local disks, while browsing for images to write through this dvd's multibootusb program. Also note that the pen drive needs to be in fat32 format for proper booting. if in other formats, for eg. ntfs, you can use the GParted program that is in this dvd, to reformat it to fat32 ( will cleanup all data ). Watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CjQRkISnHQ4 before format. See Wiki

watches for Regristry-changes of keys like HKLMSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionRun etc. and pops up if something has changed, logs it, can ask google for the key found. Protects against Trojans and Viruses.

TrustedGRUB extends the GRUB bootloader with TCG support. This makes it possible to provide a secure bootstrap architecture. The whole boot process is measured and - by support of a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) - the system integrity is verifyable.
