Lancelot Tips

Hi all,

this is not a post of Gena tutorial for now, but it will.

For now I use here to take notes. (I love using CTRL+F to remember notes)

boot order for sections ???
"driver setup + network initialization" has defination on vistape, hence
-->default shell is launched (which I guess result also with launching startup etc.)
AddAutoRun
-->"driver setup"
-->"network initialization"
AddPostConfig (IF driver setup cancelled, this step also cancelled)

Penetwork thingies

I do not have a usb modem or wireless, but I know everything ready to end user which requires only 1 step forward to make things work.
Maybe Holger can make this forward step easier in next penetwork,
Meanwhile here are things I noticed:

Common things for projects (UNDER CONSTRUCTION):

OtherOS standarts:
OtherOS scripts are for multiboot cd, to share & write easly some common variables required.

%BootType%=MultiBoot
%BootSector%=Grub4Dos
%BootMenu%=%ProjectCache%\OtherOSMenu\menu.lst
//%BootMenu%=%BootMenu_Target%\menu.lst
%BootMenu_Target%=%targetdir%
%OtherOS_Root%=%targetdir%
%OtherOS_Folder%=Boot\IMG
%OtherOS_Target%=%OtherOS_Root%\%OtherOS_Folder%

%BootType% can have 2 different values: MultiBoot , SingleBoot
maybe will not be required in future ;) so better avoiding to use unless a good reason found

Here better reminding BuildModel= (project.ini) of nightman
It has 3 values
MultiBoot , RAM , Normal
Win7PESE and Leopard droped MultiBoot value hence both have RAM and Normal values.
Nightman used MultiBoot which result with same RAM with addition of a multiboot manager
....

%BootSector% because of popularity mostly have Grub4Dos value.

%BootSector% known values: Grub4Dos | IsoLinux | BCDW | bootsect.bin | etfsboot.com

with pe2/3 current project, similar to following at config script will do the task

Code: [Select]

If,%pScrollBox4%,Equal,"Grub4Dos (recomended)",Set,%BootSector%,Grub4Dos,Permanent,
If,%pScrollBox4%,Equal,IsoLinux,Set,%BootSector%,IsoLinux,Permanent
If,%pScrollBox4%,Equal,BCDW,Set,%BootSector%,BCDW,Permanent
If,%pScrollBox4%,Equal,Standard,Set,%BootSector%,etfsboot.com,Permanent
If,%pScrollBox4%,Equal,Auto,If,%pScrollBox1%,Equal,"In RAM (boot.wim)",Set,%BootSector%,etfsboot.com,Permanent
If,%pScrollBox4%,Equal,Auto,If,%pScrollBox1%,Equal,"Normal",Set,%BootSector%,bootsect.bin,Permanent
//--
If,%pScrollBox4%,Equal,"Grub4Dos (recomended)",Set,%BootMenu%,%ProjectCache%\OtherOSMenu\menu.lst,Permanent
If,%pScrollBox4%,Equal,IsoLinux,Set,%BootMenu%,%ProjectCache%\OtherOSMenu\isolinux.cfg,Permanent
If,%pScrollBox4%,Equal,BCDW,Set,%BootMenu%,%ProjectCache%\OtherOSMenu\bcdw.ini,Permanent

%BootMenu% the file where additions made to boot menu by OtherOS scripts. Value is up to project admin preferences.
Giving some popular examples:
%BootMenu%=%BootMenu_Target%\menu.lst
%BootMenu%=%ProjectCache%\OtherOSMenu\menu.lst

%BootMenu_Target% is the final place where %BootMenu% entries will exist (or copied)

%OtherOS_Root%=
Root folder where OtherOS scripts will put files

Sub Folder name of OtherOS files
%OtherOS_Folder%=Boot\IMG

Place where OtherOS files exists.
%OtherOS_Target%=%OtherOS_Root%\%OtherOS_Folder%


In addition:
not a rule but saving (downloading) files (.iso files) to %GlobalTemplates%\OtherOS_Files increase sharing of scripts between projects easier.

RunFromXXX organisation:
(UNDER CONSTRUCTION)

%AtRAM% %AtCD% values give the required signal to other sections of capi (like shortcut creation)
son on runfromxxx sections of capi this values are changed if relevant runfromxxx section processed.

ps: mostly target_program and PE_programs changed

all other info (for now) inside info section of capi

Code: [Select]
