After a long wait, a much needed maintenance release of CD Shell is
coming out today. It fixes numerous bugs in the Diskemu module, and lots
of other random bugs. You will also find the following new and/or
improved features: an updated isolinux module (version 3.07), a new
command (return here), the ability to boot Acronis ISO images using
Diskemu, support for ISO level 4 (9660:1999) file systems, and finally a
cool new script called the Chooser.
The chooser script is a sort of selection list menu, that allows you to
scroll through up to 100 selections, complete with keyboard/mouse
support, and a scroll bar. It's in the /boot/scripts/chooser directory.
The example script is called runme.cds, and is full of helpful information.
To play around with the Acronis ISO booting support, just take your
bootable Acronis CD, rip it to an ISO using WinISO or some such program,
and then burn it onto a CD Shell disc. Then issue the command "diskemu
acronis.iso", replacing acronis.iso with the name of your ISO. This is a
new, experimental feature, so you might want to be careful using this on
a production machine. I have done some testing, and it was working fine
for me, though.
On the website, I've recently fixed the link to Reanimatolog's Bootable
CD Wizard module (version 2.0a1), and at last the old Boot Scriptor
website is now available through the Extra Stuff menu at the top of the
CD Shell home page.
Have Fun!
Mike
