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.

MBR2 is a remote control for various Boot Loaders such as GRUB, Limine, etc. It is a series of programs that run on various Operating Systems such as Linux, BSD, MacOS, Windows, etc. These programs all do the same thing from WITHIN THAT OS: They set the values of GRUB, Limine, etc. then restart the computer effectively allowing you to restart in a different OS without waiting for GRUB, etc. to load and make your choice. No more 'missed' choice selection when you get distracted waiting for the computer to shut down then reboot into the Boot Loader! We all know the frustration of turning our head back to the screen and seeing the wait timer has expired and booted the default AND WRONG operating system! LOL! You must download the correct version for each OS you use and install it in that OS. Win for Windows, Lin for Linux, BSD for BSD, etc. All images provided by Bridgett Marlow and released under CC0. MBR2 by John Marlow and released under GNU GPL 3.0 or greater. GOD bless!

Startup Helper lets users choose which programs are launched when the OS boots up. It also allows for waiting periods between launching programs, to prevent programs slowing each other down. During this startup process, the user can control the waiting period through the Startup Helper GUI, pausing the program, skipping a single program, or foregoing the waiting period and launching the next program immediately. This project is made in Java, so it should be multiplatform. However, I've only been able to test it on a Windows XP machine, so please let me know if there are oddities, bugs and/or malfunctions on other platforms.
