Open Source Boot Software - Page 9

BSD SAM-BA is a free tool under ISC licence. Like the xp SAM Boot Assistant (SAM-BA.exe) this software provides a means of easily programming different AT91 devices. Communicating with the target device may be done through an RS232 or a USB link.

The Banana Kernel is an open-source pedagogical operating system intended to provide useful means for teaching basic OS concepts, with the possibility of interaction with external modules developed by the teacher or student.

bootE Linux is yet another minimalist Linux distribution and is contained entirely on a single floppy disk. It supports only single user mode, and is intended as a repair/rescue/emergency distribution.

Boot Integrity Services (BIS) is a CDSA application. BIS adds digital signatures to boot images obtained via PXE and DHCP/BOOTP protocols. BIS includes tools for creating keys, certificates, and digital signatures, and remotely configuring BIS clients.

C Languae, Linux Kernel patch & tools

BootDebug is kind of an odd ball tool. It boots up like an OS (using Grub) but is not really an OS at all. What it provides is a tool to look at the system in a very pure state, allowing you to see exactly what is going on at they very start of the system powering up.

BootRetarder allows to retard the start of some programs, so your computer boots fastly and the programs you want to be starded at the init are ran one by one separated by a defined interval of miliseconds.

To boot and run your experimental assembly language programs, booting them with either a USB Memory Stick or a DVD. This is Not for Linux. Program only tested on Windows 7 Laptop. The Memory Sticks have to be formatted FAT 32 with a Volume Label = "FINDING" ). The memory stick should have 1 single Fat32 partition It must be of very low capacity, of 128 Meg bytes maximum? Because the memory stick must Not have a MBR system. Copy your own experimental program to the empty memory stick as a file. Log off, turn off the computer, turn back on, press a number and your program should be able to run with computer booting and in "Real mode".. Booting-Aids_2_ can do several things which have a definite educational value, because booting lets your own programs run without an operating system until they can become like a small operating system of their own. Your programs have to be marked with the number 9090h at their exact start. It can be written like this: dw 9090h

Platform - independent implementation of Bart's Cdrpack (http://www.nu2.nu) to simplify building of MultibootCD using Boot Scriptor and others. BuildMultiboot is entirely written in Java using Swing and only needs cdrecord/mkisofs and a bourne shell to r

This project develops and maintains the C-ONE boot code.

This is not an independent project, I just picked up the iso image crux64, and made on the basis of its bootable USB stick . You can use the unix command dd [dd if = crux-2.6-x86_64-bootable_usb of = / dev/sdb1] to transfer it to your USB device.

(C)reate (W)inpe 20 ISO is a command line tool to automate the generation of customized bootable WinPE 2.0 or WinPE 3.0 ISO Images.

Clicker is a project for a Multitasking Open-source operating system written from scratch. based on a modular micro kernel. We want to explore new way of designing and using OSes :) [newz: PCI, NE2K and VBE]

Cloudium OS is being written in pure ASM. It's designed for speed and ease, having cloud computing in mind. It also is secure (without requiring constant user input like Windows). But, how are we going to do this? Well every os wants/says these kind of things, so to accomplish our goals we follow these simple rules: keep it simple (that's way better then these complex interfaces etc. almost nobody wants), generalize (this makes things easier and more useful without extra complexity) and be inventive (sometimes doing it the classical way just doesn't work). Note: development peace will be temporarily lowered until February the fifth. Please check out our OS and Project site!

Netbootmgr provides a GUI and CLI for managing the next boot action for network booted nodes of a cluster. The GUI includes node status information and provides an interface to cluster node power control.

cfgsh, the Configuration Shell utility, is a small utility for the configuration of embedded systems.

The SetConsole is a script for text mode console initialization on Linux platform. It sets up font, application character map, cursor, keyboard LED's, and many other settings for each console.

Covert Linux is technology of instalation for Linux without repartition the disk and running from native system, e.g. you can install Linux from ,say, Windows by grabbing some SETUP.EXE, launching it and then clicking on desktop icon.

Disaster Recovery boot environment for Linux, WinXXX, BSD, Solaris http://www.dctools.org

Windows application displaying a system tray icon and notifications about system responsiveness at the moment. When the system is busy with finishing its loading after reboot - you'll get a notification when the system is really ready to work. On next reboot it will display a countdown clock with estimated time to wait before full system readiness.

Daemon Manager is a program designed to manage UNIX services. If a running service should die, it is restarted automatically. Daemon Manager provides an easy method of placing resource limits on certain services, along with some other useful features.

Daemond is a daemon control daemon. It can be used as a faster and more flexible replacement for init, or by itself. It has the ability to track complex dependencies, and allows package management systems to easily add and maintain them.

The Danber project aims to create an operating system where both Windows and Linux programs can be run: it is a Windows NT based kernel, but with UNIX user mode compatibility. Support for both PE and ELF executable formats.
