Usb systemname5/27/2023 ![]() So, this first step is about finding the kernels that many of these OSes share, as I'm hoping to reduce duplication. To add or subtract OSes, I would like only to have to copy the appropriate files to a /boot/img/ and a /boot/kernel folder as appropriate and then edit the menu.lst file. I'm attempting to create an 8GB usb flash drive that will allow me to boot multiple OSes from a GRUB boot menu. After I get the kernels, I imagine the rest is mostly copying the device to /boot/img/ and creating the proper entry in menu.lst, correct? I can do that on a system by system basis once I can get the kernels to refer to.I can search out which kernel these all use, but what's the bst place to get the kernels themselves to copy to /boot/kernel? However, most of these systems just have a kernel in their directories called "linux" (not stating the version).I understand that the /boot/img/ folder will store the image for a specific system, which may use various (or the same) versions of linux kernels stored in the /boot/kernel directory (at least, that's how I'd like to set it up).I have some basic, beginner questions, but ones that I've had trouble finding answers to through Google / StackExchange, etc. ![]() Have created a basic structure on the drive: /boot/grub, /boot/img, /boot/kernel.Have gotten GRUB installed successfully to the MBR of the USB drive (8 GB FAT32 drive):.Coming from a largely Windows background (though I'm familiar with Ubuntu, etc.) and using a Windows 7 machine to complete this task.
