So I've made a multi-boot USB with xboot, and all in all everything has worked nicely. It would be nice to have a boot first harddrive option to add to the menu, but that's not a big deal and easy enough to do myself.

Where I did run into problems, was adding Backtrack. It says it added correctly, and when I boot from the USB, I can select it from the menu, but when Backtrack's boot menu comes up, none of the Backtrack options actually boot properly.

Any help at all would be appreciated. At this point each Backtrack mode simply boots into a command prompt.

@hellarar

which version of backtrack you used?
xboot supports backtrack 4(and not Backtrack 3)
Backtrack 3 and Backtrack 4 are based on different Linux distros. so they have different ISO file/directory structure)
if you want, i will add support for Backtrack 3 too.


what error message you get when backtrack halts at command prompt?
Normally backtrack halts at command prompt and you have to type "startx" at command prompt to start GUI Desktop.

Regards.
