Usage
Using the Application
Always, always back up your boot loader config file before using this alpha release. A few days back, I lost (blanked it out) my main GRUb4DOS configuration file (menu.lst) due to a bug. The error is now fixed but still, just make a back up copy.

Please do not replace the bundled mkisofs.exe yet. Although it is possible, there are a few gothchas and should there be an error, it would be hard to track down if you replace the bundeled version. For now, for testing purposes please use the one included and then I will give clear instructions how to replace mkisofs.exe with you rown version and what you need to do.

Known Issues
Please understand that this is an alpha release and although while testing this latest version, I did not find any errors, no software is error free. If you find something wrong, chances are it was not done intentionally.

you've posted this in 2009 section, which was from last january.
i think you want it in 2010 section.. AND.. it's too early for this!  Keep it in private beta until NANY 2010 opens for projects in a month or so!

Hi mouser,

Hmm I've already made the announcement on a major boot cd forum, it would be quite bad taking it down but I can release a new version for NANY 2010. Sorry I didn't realize where the topic was, it's early morning here

[mouser]

thats fine, it's close enough in time..

i'll move this to nany 2010 section.. and this will be considered the first draft release.

Judging by the screenshots, this looks like an extremely well-made application.  Major kudos. 

[mouser]

Like skwire says.. it's impossible not to be impressed by this program, and it's polish and overall elegance.  Really nicely done.
Almost makes me want to try my hand at making multiboot CD!

This is obviously not a tool that most people will have use for, but i don't know why the people who make multiboot cds wouldn't be drooling all over themselves when they see this.

It is already there under screencast in the application information above.  I have never used, nor had a use for, this software, so I can't help more than that; but hopefully those screencasts will help.
