Ho scaricato l'ultima iso di Limp (la 2.5) e l'ultima versione di SARDU-CD (la 1.0.7.3.c).
Ho provato vari rinominamenti ma senza esito: sembrano non andare d'accordo!
E' capitato a nessun'altro?
Soluzioni?

Sorry for my mystake...
I downloaded the last release of LIMP (the 2.5) e the last version of SARDU-CD (the 1.0.7.3.c).
I try a lot of renaming but I haven't any good result: when I ask to make a bootable usb, the LIMP iso is not accepted.
Is this happen to someone other?
There is any solutions?

Sorry for my mystake...

No problem whatsoever, everyone has to start somewhere/somehow.


Next step:
Theory of operation

How a post requesting help should be made:
http://homepages.tes...ard-litany.html

Declared goal:

I would like to add LIMP version 2.5 to my SARDU multiboot .....

What is/where it is found (avoids the need for willing helping members to look for it):

It is a Linux distro that can be found here:
http://sourceforge.n.../limp-vkk-ver1/

Some details:

The distro comes as a .iso file named limp.iso.
It uses Isolinux as bootmanager/bootloader.
I have Sardu in C:\Sardu\.
I placed the limp.iso in k:\a completely random named folder\the limp 2.5\limp.iso (example )

Some EXACT details of approaches already tried:

I tried renaming the file to:

• .....
• .....
• .....
• .....

but none of the above worked.

Some EXACT description of the symptoms (i.e. what you experienced, errors, etc. while trying the above)

I cannot select the checkbox in SARDU for LIMP/Sardu stops with the message ....

Completely uneeded/unuseful question (unless you are gathering DATA for a statistical report):

Is this happen to someone other?

Question that can be answered with Yes or No:

There is any solutions?

Actual question:

How can I make LIMP working/be added to Sardu?

LIMP is supported allright.
It's name should be in the form limp*.iso:
http://www.sarducd.it/linux.html
It should be put inside the \ISO\ subfolder in Sardu's directory.
(It is probable that Sardu cannot find it because you put it somewhere else. Restart Sardu after having added the limp.iso inside \ISO\)
It needs NOT to be renamed since limp.iso is compatible to the limp*.iso form.
I just tested the ISO creation and it works allright, it should also for the USB.

• I put sardu.exe in a folder called sardu in the root of c:\ (my main hd where I have W7 enterprise).
• Usually sardu works with the other iso that I've downloaded e put in a folder called iso inside the sardu folder.
• The original name of the distribution was limp.iso and I downloaded it exactly from the websites linked in http://www.sarducd.it/linux.html that is http://sourceforge.n.../limp-vkk-ver1/.
• I try a lot of renaming and all in accord to the requested limp*.iso (e.g. limp_ver.2.5.iso, limp.ver.2.5.iso and limp.2.5.iso).
• When I start sardu, it find the iso - and so indicates that the name of iso is not a problem - but during the action of MAKE BOOTABLE USB the little square near the limp option became unchecked and uncheckable...
• The limp iso recorded in a cd or in in bootable usb pen work perfectly...

Sorry again for my my lot mistake but I don't understand that this forum was so formal...
I usually write in a lot of forum in Italian or in my bad English and no-one indicates me a template for the question...

Now I formal promise you that in in the future if I will open a new treed, I will take more care...

It isn't, rest assured.

I just pointed out to you a way to get better help, you are perfectly free to ignore it, and do whatever else you may see fit, it was just "common sense advice", compare:
http://www.boot-land...?showtopic=9101
NOT at all "compulsory" Rules.

So the problem is ONLY with USB and NOT with ISO making?

Have you tried NOT renaming limp.iso?

It works for me, WITHOUT ANY renaming. (I stopped it when Sardu actually wanted to write to the USB stick as I don't have one expendable handy right now, but the checkbox remains checked and the "LIMP" cell becomes green, so it should mean that it is working).

As a general rule, using "multidot" names in DOS and Windows is NOT a good idea, but this is evidently a problem with Sardu as if I rename to limp2.iso -> NOT working.

So, for the moment DO NOT rename it, leave it at limp.iso.

davidecosta will probably fix this hiccup as soon as he has time.

Ok. If the iso is named limp.iso all works perfectly...

Thanks
