Open Source Boot Software - Page 6

FOR WINDOWS USERS WHO WANT TO JUMP TO LINUX EASILY/PAINLESSLY WITH A FAST BOOTING USB FLASH DRIVE. LATEST VERSION AT www.grub4usb.com A simplified "FAMILY TREE"/"Ancestor" perspective: www.grub4usb.com for more. Introduction (from http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/) GRANDPA: GRUB is a Multiboot boot loader. It was derived from GRUB, the GRand Unified Bootloader, originally by Erich Stefan Boleyn. DAD: GRUB4DOS made it easier for Windows/DOS users, but was still unreliable; the boot record was difficult to install for average users. GRUB4USB was developed to automate the installation of the correct 446 bytes to the boot sector, providing Windows Users with a bootable USB Flash Drive which could contain any flavor of Linux (or other OS). IDIOT PROOF: GRUB4USB is "AUTOMATIC AND HANDS FREE". Simply insert USB Flash Drives, they're detected, the boot record is installed with a Linux distribution to quickly create functional, bootable USB Flash Drives; aka LIVE USB.

This software allows you to set a shutdown hour for your system. Why should you choose this software? Simple... This is a non-profit software made by a student, this software doesn't contain any advertisment or similiar things. Just motivate a young student! HOW TO USE: -Insert the time -Click on the switch -Done :)

Committed to the development of fundamental ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) components for Linux. This includes a generic ACPI table parser, AML interpreter, bus and device drivers, policy, user interface, and support tools.

This project's goal was to develop an open source firmware for Sinus 154 DSL Basic SE and similar AR7 based devices. Projektziel war die Entwicklung einer freien Firmware für Sinus 154 DSL Basic SE und vergleichbare Geräte mit AR7-Prozessor.

BootUtils is a collection of utilities to facilitate booting of modern Kernel 2.6 based systems. The process of finding the root volume either by label or explicit label= on the kernel command line, mounting it and 'switchroot'ing is automated.

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.

This program allows you to edit boot.ini, which is used to boot windows from 95 to XP.

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).

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.

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

GRUB 2 works with EFI but there are no menuentries built, os-prober-efi/30_os_prober_efi will fix this. os-prober-efi ist for analyzing/printing the EFI environment. Use os-prober-efi -h for more informations! 30_os_prober_efi ist the grub-mkconfig script (update-grub) and generates for each entry (*.efi) found in /boot/efi/EFI/... a menuentry. You can disable them in "/etc/default/grub". NOTE: /boot/efi/EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi is the regular EFI-Loader for Windows! Possible Variables (optional) - they need export and must be stored in "/etc/default/grub": export GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER_EFI=true -- Disable the script 30_os_prober_efi export GRUB_DISABLE_EFI_directory_loader=true -- Disable directory and/or loader (first found=disabled) Example for disable the loader /EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgr.efi: export GRUB_DISABLE_EFI_MICROSOFT_BOOT_BOOTMGR.EFI=true Example for disable the complete folder boot/efi/EFI/grub: export GRUB_DISABLE_EFI_GRUB=true

This patch enables AHCI and NVMe support for Grub4DOS 0.4.5c and can speed up transfer rates if an image file is mapped to RAM and may be loaded from an SSD or NVMe M2 SSD.

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.

Linksys kindly provides a tarball with source code to the NAS200 firmware which can be used by users to build their own firmware, and add improvements. This project will be the place where those improvements are gathered.

The Niso Project is a setup application to install Microsoft Windows on your computer without needing to copy files from an iso image or use a cd or make a bootable USB. *This program can only be used if you have an existing installation of Windows on the computer you want to install Windows on* *This specific setup installs Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 3 x86 on your computer* *Comes with a valid tested product key in a .txt file*

This project is for a PE Builder plug-in for the Ext2Fsd software. I decided to develope this solution in order to be able to scan ext2/ext3 partitions using KAV/KIS anti-virus Rescue Disk which is created with PE Builder.

Sets out to be an innovative new operating system while retaining compatibility with POSIX and Win32

ThinTUX is a small Linux distribution for thin clients. It has support for all major remote access protocols. The distribution can be booted from the network. The configuration is stored on a DHCP server to simplify terminal management.

The cloud boot services support booting to DRBL, Clonezilla, GParted LiveCD and more linux distributions from iPXE( or gPXE) kernel.

A complete tty login experience, replacing getty, login, and xinit. Features a friendly curses UI with a username picker box. Acts as a display manager and launches X when .xinitrc exists. Handles failures and falls back to a plain shell if X does not start.

mbldr is a boot loader which fits into first sector of an HDD (MBR). It allows to choose which partition to boot and is intended to replace an MBR coming with DOS/Windows (fdisk /mbr). It may boot OSes above 1024cyl, Linux/BSD are also supported.

OpenBoot is a boot loader supporting multi CPU-architectures. It is configurable and portable, and its source codes are enough clear to read.

serel is software that helps computers boot faster. serel adds synchronisation and integrity-checking to the operating system service startup phase, allowing a computer's services to start in parallel.
