Super GRUB2 Disk helps you to boot into most any Operating System (OS) even if you cannot boot into it by normal means.

USB disk with multiple ISO files. Easy to use: install, copy ISO files and boot from USB. Display a list of currently supported operating systems.

Super UEFIinSecureBoot Disk is a proof-of-concept (not actively maintained or enhanced) bootable image with GRUB2 bootloader designed to be used as a base for recovery USB flash drives. Key feature: disk is fully functional with UEFI Secure Boot mode activated. It can launch any operating system or .efi file, even with untrusted, invalid or missing signature.

Network Security Toolkit (NST) is a bootable ISO image (Live USB Flash Drive) based on Fedora 42 providing easy access to best-of-breed Open Source Network Security Applications and should run on most x86_64 systems. The main intent of developing this toolkit was to provide the security professional and network administrator with a comprehensive set of Open Source Network Security Tools. The majority of tools published in the article: Top 125 Security Tools by INSECURE.ORG are available in the toolkit. An advanced Web User Interface (WUI) is provided for system/network administration, navigation, automation, network monitoring, host geolocation, network analysis and configuration of many network and security applications found within the NST distribution. In the virtual world, NST can be used as a network security analysis, validation and monitoring tool on enterprise virtual servers hosting virtual machines.

Software that makes it easiest to create pre-loaded usb sticks. It adopts the philosophy of "load once, always stay pre-loaded". If you want to learn how easy these processes can be, let's examine them together. First of all, imagine that you have booted the usb stick for once. Let's see what they can do next.

Create a USB bootable device from an image file easily and securely. Because of its reliance on GNU and POSIX tools, bootiso primarly targets GNU/Linux systems.

Boot Info Script is a bash script which searches all hard drives attached to the computer for information related to booting. Its primary use is for troubleshooting booting problems. For instructions see: http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net

Linux-based Network Bootmanager A graphical bootmanager providing OS deployment and repair for Linux, Windows, possibly other operating systems, via PXE and local cache.

PXES is a Linux micro distribution that will convert (or recycle) in minutes any compliant hardware into a versatile thin client capable of accessing any Unix/Linux XDMCP server, Microsoft Terminal Server through RDP protocol, Citrix ICA server or VNC se

Linux is an excellent environment for deploying diskless thin clients. Whether you are installing a 2nd workstation at home, 50 workstations in a CyberCafe or 500 workstations in a major university or corporation, the LTSP can help you be successful.

Mainly this project aims at easing startup and use of XCSoar (see xcsoar.org) on Kobo Mini. But the scope of use should not be limited solely to XCSoar. The Launcher should be small in code size, reuse most of the original libraries, provide flexible configuration to any application that might be ported to the Kobo Mini. It supports customizable fonts, toolbox-pages, buttons (also graphical), labels, autostart and sleep timers.

A web based GUI for managing PXE boot and optionally managing DHCP service. Also supports creating and serving Kickstart and preseed scripts. This provides a client install in one click. This is a generic framework created to work with anything that's PXE bootable. Adding new hosts can be done via "PXE enrollment" where the client PXE boots to enroll into OneClickKick. Easily integrated with existing naming sources such as NIS and LDAP for central lookup of host and mac address information. OneClickKIck can also be integrated with FreeIPA (www.freeipa.org) to allow adding and modifying hosts directly in IPA.

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

Runnix is a kexec/syslinux based loader for booting linux systems. It supports a wide range of unique features and can be easily customized and extended. Automatic updates (even over a network), image verification, and failover are all supported.

Linux Mobile System is a full Linux system within a USB Flash Memory Drive. This system will be able to boot from any i386 based PC, so we can to run a lot of utilities: network diagnostic, disk diagnostic, administration terminal, etcetera.

Virtual Linux 1.1 (Tiger Edition) is basically the Mandrake Linux operating system, modified to run directly from your cd rom drive. With Virtual-Linux 1.1 you get about 1.6 gigabytes of software, all compressed onto one cd rom, using cloop compression.

A simple, easily customizable framework to produce the users choice of an initrd or initramfs package. My goal is to make Another Early Userspace Init Option that isn't outdated, hard to customize, or arbitrarily limited.

AutoFsck is a script for Linux operating systems (specifically the Ubuntu family) which deals with the annoyance of a periodic fsck runs on boot by moving the checks to shutdown.

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

This project aims to develop a method to use runit and SysV init to enable parallel service startup during boot for Fedora Linux. Standard Fedora Init scripts will be ported to runit init scripts maintaining full functionality. Docs are in the wiki.
