I think you saw this newer version on the forum. @rockedge is working toward integration in the KLs.

Loading KL-ISO using the example of "KLA-Manjaro-Openbox-CE-1.1.iso"

To download (KLA-Manjaro-Openbox-CE-1.1.iso) I decided to create a folder called (KLA-Manjaro-C) in which we will place our ISO.
also a script "iso_grubconfig" was written which will create boot lines for "grub.cfg" . in a file called " iso_grub_config.txt "

note:
before it was packed into ISO (KLA-Manjaro-Openbox-CE-1.1.iso)
in /boot/grub/loopback.cfg lines were added to select boot with saving

in loopback.cfg

Code: Select all

### loopback.cfg (BOOT from ISO):

looking into including this /boot in KLV-Airedale-sr15

This is a good idea as it will allow you to download without unpacking the ISO.

I unpacked yours (KLV-Airedale-sr14). I downloaded the theme for Grub, and wrote down what was needed and packed it again.

the test showed everything works

looking into including this /boot in KLV-Airedale-sr15

Note:
Do not put the EFI folder in boot, this is not correct

[rockedge]

@Sofiya Excellent! I could replace the copies of the ISO on the rockedge server and Sourceforge OR we could repackage this as a new KLV-Airedale-sr15 and include the /boot modifications in the post.

I could extract a new Void Linux kernel and update the fie system as well for the sr15 version.

Or should we just use this new sr14 ISO and mention the upgrades to /boot?

In any case this is good stuff!

Do it as you think is necessary and understandable for the user

I really don't know where to put the script to create lines for booting from ISO, and I need to indicate somewhere that it is for this use

This thread is very good! It demonstrates a positive effort to move boot operations into a consistent model. Thus users and developers benefit with the consistency that would extend across forum distros;particularly in KLs and PUPs.

Thanks @Sofiya for another interesting pathway as you provide here.

Request for thought from anyone
Over the past 5 years, I have stopped installation of any forum distro, yet, I have been able to boot and use every forum distro. The ISO/IMG files ARE a running OS and the facilities within each running forum distro provides a method for saving their sessions (persistence). As such, this give users a FRUGAL operation of every distro shared over the forum by its developers; without the effort of all the work in extractions reducing errors and issues with of traditional setup.

Over these past years, I have refined my boots for all OSes on any given PC to using a single structure for ALL distros. Whether I use a USB or an internal disk the following standard I employ

• Done ONLY once creating the boot disk

  1. Create a Ventoy disk

  2. Create a folder on its 1st partition named BOOTISOS

  3. Initially add the SuperGRUB2disc ISO (SG2D) file to BOOTISOS

  And, forevermore, Place ALL distro ISOs or IMG files in BOOTISOS

  This disk allows me to launch and use every forum distro and ISO/IMG files from the Ventoy list.

  If contains SG2D because some (fewer and fewer as time goes on) distros will not boot successfully when launched from Ventoy, but every forum distro boots from SG2D. So for those troublesome distros, usually WoofCEs, I launch SG2D from the Ventoy list and then select the troublesome that will lead to an operational desktop.

  Thus, this arrangement is a download and boot arrangement which has matured over the past 5 years and works for every evaluations I have (along with students/others from time to time)done; with it being a productivity gain because there is no installations and no modifications to the Ventoy disk, ever. This is merely a download and boot to desktop Frugal use for all forum distros.
  .
  There is NO MAINTENANCE to this VENTOY disk
  .

• Environment - A single Ventoy disk.

  1. Ventoy's partition #1 (Labeled "Ventoy") contains only the BOOTISOS folder where the ISO files are kept

  2. Partition #2 is the PC's boot partition that is NEVER touched as it contains the PC boot instructions that every PC looks for and executes following the PC's POST.

I am willing to seek a way to use the work of this thread in that environment. Maybe there a way to add an option to the Ventoy partition #2 that would lead to this thread's utility; OR maybe some sort of minimal ISO/IMG file that would be visible on the Ventoy list of ISOs (the way that SG2D ISO is used on the disk) OR ???

All Ideas would be appreciated.

I have NO problem with either.

I am only considering how I can integrate this thread's contribution into the Boot Launcher I described above.

The post above, from me, is NOT a request for change. Its a concern for any idea to embrace it using the USB structure I show such that it, too, is embraced to launch forum distros and others as well.

[Clarity]

This is the ONLY item I would like to see as demo here ... an example boot stanza using the boot disk's label where the ISOs are present versus the UUID.

Thus this post (not my above posts) is NOT a request for ANY change, rather, its merely a stanza example.

Thanks @Sofiya for all you have done and have shared in your threads on the forum.

grub2config-2.0.2_1.x86_64.xbps Fixed - updated

• GRUB 2 is a cross-platform operating system boot loader.

https://github.com/sofijacom/grub2confi ... nfig-2.0.2

I collected it as I could, it is installed with my theme "kl-linux"
tested on "KLV-Boxer-rc4, KLV-Airedale-sr14, KLA-Manjaro-Openbox-CE-1.0"
was installed on a flash drive

I changed the Grub2config.desktop file so the menu entry shows up in Applications->System

In Grub2config.desktop changes:

Categories=System;
