-===== Boot USB stick =====
+The page moved to [[gnu_linux:boot:usb_stick|Boot USB stick]].
-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.ubuntu.com|Ubuntu 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 =====
-==== Make a backup ====
-Firstly backup all data on the stick (using tar/cp/rsync).
-==== Installing SystemRescueCD ====
-      * 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 FS type ====
-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>
-==== Syslinux.cfg ====
-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

-	kernel memdisk
-	append initrd=/bootdisk/dos622.img floppy</code>
-==== Grub4dos ====
-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

-==== Debian netinstall ====
-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/$release/main/installer"; \
-ftp_path="current/images/netboot/debian-installer" \
-&& p="$ftp_url-i386/$ftp_path/i386" \
-&& wget "$p/linux" -O "$path/syslinux/vmlinuz-debian32" \
-&& wget "$p/initrd.gz" -O "$path/syslinux/initrd-debian32.gz" \
-&& p="$ftp_url-amd64/$ftp_path/amd64" \
-&& wget "$p/linux" -O "$path/syslinux/vmlinuz-debian64" \
-&& wget "$p/initrd.gz" -O "$path/syslinux/initrd-debian64.gz" \
-&& echo "Debian boot image files download successfully\! ;-)" \
-|| echo "Downloading Debian boot image files failed\! ;-("</code>
-==== Fedora netinstall ====
-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 $path/syslinux/vmlinuz-fedora</code>
-==== Ubuntu installer ====
-Download [[http://www.ubuntu.com/download|Ubuntu]] iso-file. Copy /casper directory to the root of flash to get structure like this.
-<code | stick:/>stick
-├── casper
-│   ├── filesystem.manifest
-│   ├── filesystem.manifest-remove
-│   ├── filesystem.size
-│   ├── filesystem.squashfs
-│   ├── initrd.lz
-│   └── vmlinuz
-</code>
-Add menu items to Grub4dos menu.lst
-<code config | stick://menu.lst>
-title Ubuntu 12.04 LTS amd64
-find --set-root /casper/initrd.lz
-kernel /casper/vmlinuz boot=casper live-media-path=/casper/ ignore_uuid
-initrd /casper/initrd.lz
-</code>
-On new Ubuntu CD /casper directory may have another name so you must change it in the config. Also you probably want to change the title.
-==== Gentoo stage3 ====
-To get available Gentoo installers need to download [[http://mirrors.kernel.org/gentoo/snapshots/portage-latest.tar.bz2 | portage-latest.tar.bz2]], [[http://mirrors.kernel.org/gentoo/releases/x86/autobuilds/current-stage3 | stage3-i686-xxx.tar.bz2]] and [[http://mirrors.kernel.org/gentoo/releases/amd64/autobuilds/current-stage3 | stage3-amd64-xxx.tar.bz2]] to the //stick:/install/gentoo// directory. Under GNU/Linux all operations can be made in one step <code bash | Downloading Gentoo portage and stages: path - path to the stick>
-path=/mnt/flash
-full_path="$path/install/gentoo"; \
-url_path="http://mirrors.kernel.org/gentoo/releases"; mkdir -p "$full_path" \
-&& fname=`wget $url_path/x86/autobuilds/latest-stage3-i486.txt -O - 2>/dev/null | tail -n1` \
-&& wget "$url_path/x86/autobuilds/$fname" -O "$full_path/${fname##*/}" \
-&& fname=`wget $url_path/amd64/autobuilds/latest-stage3-amd64-nomultilib.txt -O - 2>/dev/null | tail -n1` \
-&& wget "$url_path/amd64/autobuilds/$fname" -O "$full_path/${fname##*/}" \
-&& fname=`wget $url_path/amd64/autobuilds/latest-stage3-amd64-hardened+nomultilib.txt -O - 2>/dev/null | tail -n1` \
-&& wget "$url_path/amd64/autobuilds/$fname" -O "$full_path/${fname##*/}" \
-&& wget "$url_path/snapshots/current/portage-latest.tar.bz2" -O "$full_path/portage-latest.tar.bz2" \
-&& echo "Downloading portage and stag3 success \! ;-)" \
-|| echo "Downloading portage and stag3 failed \! ;-("</code>
-==== DOS 7.1 ====
-To have DOS 7.1 on the stick download diskette image from [[http://narod.ru/disk/27030580000/4DOS.IMA.html | narod.ru]] or [[http://www.backbone.ws/share/dist/os/dos | this site]] and move to the //stick:/bootdisk// directory. In Bash you cat type <code bash | Downloading DOS 7.1 image: path - path to mounted stick>path=/mnt/flash
-wget http://www.backbone.ws/share/dist/os/dos/4dos.ima -O "$path/bootdisk/4dos.ima" \
-&& echo "DOS 7.1 download succes\! ;-)" || echo "DOS 7.1 download failed\! ;-("</code>
-==== MS Windows ====
-<note warning>
-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.
-</note>
-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]

-multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect
-C:\grldr="Grub4Dos"</code>
-==== Clonezilla ====
-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
-├── live
-│   ├── filesystem.squashfs
-│   ├── initrd.img
-│   └── vmlinuz</code> Copy from //clonezilla-live-xxx.iso/syslinux/syslinux.cfg// file strings from first "MENU TITLE" to last "MENU END" including them and insert before first "LABEL ..." string into //stick:/syslinux/syslinux.cfg//
