Grub for DOS and Fedora 10

Hello,

I am trying to add Fedora 10 to my thumb drive with a slew of other bootable apps. I have looked and looked all over this site and other Fedora/Grub for DOS forums however I am unable to find anything to help me! Here is what I have already done.

- On a spare thumb drive used the Fedora 10 image with LiveUSB Creator
- Took the files from that and added it to my bootable thumb drive
- Put those files in E:/plugins/fedora_10
- Added the following to menu.lst

title Fedora V10
find --set-root /plugins/FEDORA_10/LiveOS/squashfs.img
map /plugins/FEDORA_10/LiveOS/squashfs.img (hd32)
map --hook
root (hd32)
chainloader (hd32)
lock

With that being said I have loaded the thumb drive and tried to access Fedora. It tells me the (hd32) will not mount! However I do not think that is the issue because i have 2 other "miniOS's" running with same string!

Any help would be appreciated!!!

Thanks!

Hi,

I'm trying to do a similar thing and was wondering if you (or anybody else) had any success.

Like most people, I have multiple machines. My work machine is a 64bit, home notebook a 32bit, home server ubuntu server 32bit, etc.

What I'd like is a single usb stick with grub where I can choose to do a live install of:

F11 32bit
F11 64bit
F10 32bit
F10 64bit
Ubuntu 9.04 32bit
Ubuntu 9.04 64bit
Ubuntu Server 8.04 32bit

Ideally, I'd like to write an automated script so that in 6-12 months time, I can just have the distros I want in a folder and the script will create the new stick.

I'd find it very difficult to imagine that this is not a straight forward process.

Ideas?
