-Here a short instruction how to create a multiboot usb flash disk containing [[http://syslinux.zytor.com/wiki/index.php/The_Syslinux_Project|Syslinux]] ([[http://greenflash.su/Syslinux/Syslinux.htm|rus]]), [[http://diddy.boot-land.net/grub4dos/Grub4dos.htm|Grub4dos]] ([[http://greenflash.su/Grub4Dos/Grub4dos.htm|rus]]), [[http://www.debian.org|Debian x86/64]], [[http://www.fedoraproject.org|Fedora x86/64]], [[http://www.gentoo.org|Gentoo x86/64]], [[http://clonezilla.org|Clonezilla]], [[http://old-dos.ru/files/file_672.html|4DOS]], [[http://www.microsoft.com/windows/default.aspx?icid=winvan|MS Windows]] (experimental), [[http://www.sysresccd.org/Main_Page|SystemRescueCd]] ([[http://www.memtest.org/|Memtest86]], [[http://pogostick.net/~pnh/ntpasswd|NTpassword]], [[http://www.freedos.org|FreeDOS]], [[http://gag.sourceforge.net|GAG]], [[http://www.ranish.com/part|Ranish]], [[http://hdt-project.org|HDT]], [[http://www.dban.org|DBAN]], [[http://www.ihdd.ru/mhdd|MHDD]], [[http://netboot.sourceforge.net|Netboot]], [[http://www.gnu.org/software/grub|Grub2]], [[http://www.xfce.org|Xfce]], [[http://gparted.sourceforge.net|GParted]]).
-==== Steps ====
-  - Firstly backup all data on the stick (using tar/cp/rsync).
-  - Installing SystemRescueCD on the stick.
-      * Under MS Windows: download image [[http://www.sysresccd.org/Sysresccd-manual-en_How_to_install_SystemRescueCd_on_an_USB-stick#B.29_Recommended_USB_installation_method_from_Windows|SystemRescueCD-Installer.exe]] and follow instructions given on the link.
-      * Under GNU/Linux: Mount [[http://www.sysresccd.org/Download|SystemRescueCd-x86-x.x.x.iso]] with //exec// option and run as root //usb_inst.sh// script. Use this short script replacing //iso_path// to path to the iso file: <code bash | Installing SystemRescueCD: iso_path - path to the dowloded iso image>iso_path=/path/to/systemrescuecd-x86-x.x.x.iso
-mkdir iso_dir && sudo mount -o loop,exec "$iso_path" iso_dir && sudo iso_dir/usb_inst.sh \
-&& echo "SystemRescueCD successfully installed\! ;-)" || echo "Installation of SystemRescueCD failed\! ;-(" ; \
-sudo umount iso_dir ; rmdir iso_dir</code>
-  - Set correct file system type to make >=DOS-7.1 understand it. Under GNU/Linux type<code bash | Set correct fs type for DOS>sudo fdisk /dev/sdX # X - is the stick vfat partition, type 't', 'b', 'w', 'Enter'</code>Additionally you can set a DOS fs label<code bash | set dos fs label>sudo dosfslabel /dev/sdX1 LABEL</code>
-  - Add menu items to //stick:/syslinux/syslinux.cfg// before first LABEL string match. <code | stick://syslinux/syslinux.cfg>LABEL Debian netinstall 32 bit
-	MENU LABEL Debian netinstall 32 bit
-	KERNEL vmlinuz-debian32
-	initrd initrd-debian32.gz

-	MENU LABEL DOS 6.22
-	kernel memdisk
-	append initrd=/bootdisk/dos622.img floppy</code>
-  - Extract from [[http://sourceforge.net/projects/grub4dos | Grub4dos]] //grub.exe// file to the stick into /syslinux/ relative path. And create //stick:/menu.lst// config file for Grub4dos <code ini | stick:/menu.lst>color black/cyan yellow/cyan

-  - To get available Debian netinstall need to download [[ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/testing/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/debian-installer/i386/linux | kernel-32bit]], [[ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/testing/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/debian-installer/i386/initrd.gz | initrd-32bit]], [[ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/testing/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/debian-installer/amd64/linux | kernel-64bit]], [[ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/testing/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/debian-installer/amd64/initrd.gz | initrd-64bit]] and move it to the //stick:/syslinux// directory renaming to //vmlinuz-debian32//, //initrd-debian32.gz//, //vmlinuz-debian64//, //inird-debian64.gz// accordinly. Under GNU/Linux you can do all operations by typing one command <code bash | Downloading Debian files: path - path to the mounted usb stick fs, release = stable | testing | sid>
-path=/mnt/flash ; release=testing
-ftp_url="ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/$release/main/installer"; \

-&& echo "Debian boot image files download successfully\! ;-)" \

-  - To get available Fedora netinstall download [[http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/bfo/bfo.lkrn | bfo.lkrn]] and save it as stick:/syslinux/vmlinuz-fedora. Example:<code bash | Download Fedora netinstall kernel image: path - path to the mounted stick>path=/mnt/flash
-wget http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/bfo/bfo.lkrn -O $path/syslinux/vmlinuz-fedora</code>
-  - To get available Gentoo installers need to download [[http://mirrors.kernel.org/gentoo/snapshots/portage-latest.tar.bz2 | portage-latest.tar.bz2]], [[http://mirrors.kernel.org/gentoo/releases/x86/autobuilds/current-stage3 | stage3-i686-xxx.tar.bz2]] and [[http://mirrors.kernel.org/gentoo/releases/amd64/autobuilds/current-stage3 | stage3-amd64-xxx.tar.bz2]] to the //stick:/install/gentoo// directory. Under GNU/Linux all operations can be made in one step <code bash | Downloading Gentoo portage and stages: path - path to the stick>
-path=/mnt/flash
-full_path="$path/install/gentoo"; \
-url_path="http://mirrors.kernel.org/gentoo/releases"; mkdir -p "$full_path" \
-&& fname=`wget $url_path/x86/autobuilds/latest-stage3-i686.txt -O - 2>/dev/null | tail -n1 | cut -d/ -f2` \

-&& fname=`wget $url_path/amd64/autobuilds/latest-stage3.txt -O - 2>/dev/null | tail -n1 | cut -d/ -f2` \
-&& wget "$url_path/amd64/autobuilds/current-stage3/$fname" -O "$full_path/$fname" \
-&& wget "$url_path/snapshots/current/portage-latest.tar.bz2" -O "$full_path/portage-latest.tar.bz2" \
-&& echo "Downloading portage and stag3 success \! ;-)" \
-|| echo "Downloading portage and stag3 failed \! ;-("</code>
-  - To have DOS 7.1 on the stick download diskette image from [[http://narod.ru/disk/27030580000/4DOS.IMA.html | narod.ru]] or [[http://www.backbone.ws/share/dist/os/dos | this site]] and move to the //stick:/bootdisk// directory. In Bash you cat type <code bash | Downloading DOS 7.1 image: path - path to mounted stick>path=/mnt/flash
-wget http://www.backbone.ws/share/dist/os/dos/4dos.ima -O "$path/bootdisk/4dos.ima" \
-&& echo "DOS 7.1 download succes\! ;-)" || echo "DOS 7.1 download failed\! ;-("</code>
-  - Important! Setup MS Windows in this way with a 100% possibility it erases SYSLINUX boot loader because Windows Installer wrotes it's own boot loader from time to time. However if installation of Windows success you can got to Grub4dos using NTLDR and select DOS 7.1, then type<code>c: ; syslinux.com c:</code> //syslinux.com// must be extracted from //stick:/bootprog/syslinux-x.xx.zip/dos//. Also to install Windows XP you need to copy //ntdetect.com// from //i386// installation directory and //grldr// from [[http://sourceforge.net/projects/grub4dos | Grub4dos]] to the root of the stick. Menu config must be on the stick<code ini | stick:/boot.ini>[boot loader]

-  - Installing Clonezilla. Download latest [[http://sourceforge.net/projects/clonezilla/files/clonezilla_live_stable | stable]] or [[http://sourceforge.net/projects/clonezilla/files/clonezilla_live_testing | testing]] version of Clonezilla. Unpack three files from the iso by mounting it or by using File-Roller etc. You should get such directory tree.<code | stick:/>stick
