'''1) Getting the usb to boot<br>'''
unpack the grub4dos.zip.<br>
Now to install to you usb drive, cd into the grub4dos dir, find and run<br>
./bootlace /dev/<Make SURE this is your usbdrive) MINE was /dev/SDD YMMV<br>
take a peek at http://diddy.boot-land.net/grub4dos/files/install.htm for more hints on this<br>
Now we need a couple of files too.<br>
So we copy grldr and menu.lst to the root of the usb drive.<br>
There, now it would try to boot.<br>
'''2) Getting the iso ready for the boot<br>'''
Copy the file smeserver*.iso to the usb stick.<br>
its important to NOT rename this iso, as sme's install program will search for it<br>
now if you know you will newer have to work on servers with less than 1GB ram, then skip this<br>
Otherwise<br>
mount the iso in a temporary directory and copy the boot.iso to the root.<br>
Something like <br>
<pre>
mkdir /media/iso
mount -t iso9600 -o loop smeserver*.iso /media/iso
cp /media/iso/images/boot.iso /media/<usbstick>/SMEboot.iso
umount /media/iso
rmdir /media/iso
</pre>
'''3) now for the magic.'''<br>
On USB edit the menu.lst to include this <br>
On USB edit the menu.lst to include this <br>
<pre>
<pre>
title find and load SMEboot.iso
title SMEserver
fallback 6
find --set-root /smeserver-8.0beta6-i386.iso
map /smeserver-8.0beta6-i386.iso (0xff) || map --mem /smeserver-8.0beta6-i386.iso (0xff)
map --hook
chainloader (0xff)
savedefault --wait=2
title SME boot.iso(lowmem)
fallback 7
fallback 7
find --set-root /SMEboot.iso
find --set-root /SMEboot.iso
map /ubcd.iso (0xff) || map --mem /SMEboot.iso (0xff)
map /SMEboot.iso (0xff) || map --mem /SMEboot.iso (0xff)
map --hook
map --hook
chainloader (0xff)
chainloader (0xff)
savedefault --wait=2
savedefault --wait=2
</pre>
</pre>
'''4) Read this too'''<BR>
When booting, grub4dos, will cache the cd image to memory <BR>
Thats why i included the boot.iso method<BR>
the Boot.iso just isnt as polished as the normal installer, so avoid if you can <BR>
When booting the smeserver, the initial caching will take a looong time <BR>
If anyone has any idea how to get an invadeaload game on, ill take it, otherwise just wait<BR>
Your not working.. SME is working for you <BR>
'''5) IMPORTANT '''<BR>
When the installer is running, it will ask where to find the install image.<BR>
Point it at the usbdrive.<BR>
When asked if you want to format/repartition the drive with the loopback device <BR>
''' JUST SAY NO '''<BR>
Otherwise i suspect you'll have to start over ;-)
