    i cant see many people buying into the whole ipad thing tbh .... at least the computer savvy world anyway :)

    Cdlinux On Your Multipass ...

    in USB Multipass

    excellent little distribution of linux ... weighing in @ 63mb (for the extended edition (with apps(there are smaller editions))) lol ;)

    ....

    first dl the iso

    extract the iso using 7zip :)

    to a folder on your multipass called cdlinux

    then add the following to your grub boot loader ...

    title CDlinux

    root (hd0,0)

    kernel (hd0,0)/cdlinux/CDlinux/bzImage acpi=force vga=normal quiet CDL_DEV=UUID=E0EA-97EE CDL_DIR=cdlinux/CDlinux CDL_GUI=yes CDL_LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 CDL_AMOUNT=yes

    initrd (hd0,0)/cdlinux/CDlinux/initrd

    changing the UUID option = your usb uuid

    you can find this by typing

    sudu blkid

    in terminal on linux :D

    Geexbox On Your Usb ....

    got lame friends who never have the right codecs ??

    you might want to try this ... its only 20mb

    title GeeXboX

    root (hd0,0)

    kernel /GEEXBOX/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/ram0 rw rdinit=linuxrc boot=UUID=E0EA-97EE lang=en keymap=qwerty splash ...

    initrd /GEEXBOX/boot/initrd.gz

    quiet

    you need to extract the iso to a usb stick to start using the geexbox application

    then copy the geexbox folder to your multi pass adding the code above

    and changing the UUID to the UUID of your usb stick this can be found in linux

    by going to the terminal and typing

    sudo blkid

    this will list your partition id's look for the usb stick uuid and add this to your config

    all files available from ... http://geexbox.org/en/index.html

    am i just being stupid ? ...

    im trying to package geexbox with my live usb stick

    title myGeeXbox

    find --set-root /multipass/geexbox.iso

    map /multipass/geexbox.iso (hd32)

    map --hook

    root (hd32)

    chainloader (hd32)

    title GeeXboX

    root (hd0,0)

    kernel /multipass/geexbox/GEEXBOX/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/ram0 rw rdinit=linuxrc boot=UUID=E0EA-97EE lang=en keymap=qwerty splash ...

    initrd /multipass/geexbox/GEEXBOX/boot/initrd.gz

    quiet

    title GeeXboX

    root (hd0,0)

    kernel /multipass/geexbox2/GEEXBOX/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/ram0 rw rdinit=linuxrc boot=UUID=E0EA-97EE lang=en keymap=qwerty splash ...

    initrd /multipass/geexbox2/GEEXBOX/boot/initrd.gz

    quiet

    all of the above work .... but it loads 1/2 way and quits saying that sda1 is already mounted i wanted to boot the image from usb without using the hd .... any help appreciated

    i've spent 3/4 hours searching but still no joy .... the only useful information i found is

    If you already have a Linux OS installed on your system, you might just want to add a GeeXboX entry to your existing bootloader. This allow you to install GeeXboX very easily.

    From GeeXboX CD, simply copy the GEEXBOX folder into your Linux / partition (we suppose it to be /dev/sda1 here). Modify the /boot/grub/menu.lst file to add:

    title GeeXboX

    root (hd0,1)

    kernel /GEEXBOX/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/ram0 rw rdinit=linuxrc boot=UUID=$my_uuid lang=en keymap=qwerty splash ...

    initrd /GEEXBOX/boot/initrd.gz

    quiet

    Just take are about two things:

    - the field root (hd0,1) is to be adapted according to the rest of your GRUB's configuration.

    - the $my_uuid value is the unique ID of your partition. Check within your GRUB config file, which value is set for other OS on the same partition or use ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid/ to see which uuid matches your partition.
