Thanks!

According to this article: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/dn938389(v=vs.85).aspx

There is indeed still a 72 hour limit. There was a registry hack for the Win7PE to stop this... surely there is something for Win10PE?

Can you link me to the reg hack page? I could try to implement it. I'm on mobile, so searching takes me ages.

I'm looking around now to see if I can find something about it.

How is the network driver support? On my 7PE I threw in the network drivers pack from some page... like driverpacks dot com or something? Not sure if that was the actual site, but it guaranteed a network connection on every computer I booted it up on. How is the Win10 network driver selection?

It's pretty damn good, and I'm going to test my changes on PENetwork to see if I fixed the Wi-Fi. Editing .wim images as I reply.

Yeah I saw someone had to add a key to start a service in the RunOnce category of the registry to get wifi to work properly. There does exist a driver pack for Win10 network devices too :3

Just added a cool Conky-style information display to the top-right, set to a 1 second update interval, and it works really well. Takes out much of the hardware guesswork, and launches on startup automatically.

I just found this, and damn this is hella useful. Thanks for creating such a project!

You're welcome!

You could always try to boot them using the "flat file" method, booting their kernels directly, instead of from an ISO. Lubuntu on there is flat-file, and works great. You can use it and Linux.cfg as a template to make yours do what you want.

After tinkering with the configuration files, I ended up with an error. Since I'm using Xboot's files, I'm using SysLinux as a bootloader, and when trying to load a .c32 file this error pops up: "Failed to load COM32 file /Other/boot/syslinux/vesamenu.c32".
This is the config file which gets called:

### MENU START
LABEL mainmenu
MENU LABEL MAIN MENU
KERNEL /Other/boot/syslinux/vesamenu.c32
APPEND /Other/boot/syslinux/syslinux.cfg
### MENU END

This is syslinux.cfg:

Well When i added Parted Magic back, it couldn't find the SQFS file, so I guess I'll just give up on that hope

I am happy to see the updates made to Mini 10. I am still trying to get the Bitdefender and Eset rescue cds integrated and functioning into the system as images. I may give the flat file method a go.

If you manage to get them working please post your method, I'm going crazy trying to boot a functioning Kaspersky Rescue Disk

I have added "God Mode" to Mini Windows 10. Both the 64-bit and 32-bit versions also appear more consistent and transparent to one-another; But the wallpaper will keep you informed of which version you are running.

For those curious about "God Mode" for Windows 10, you can read about it here:

I have tried a multitude of times to add Bitdefender and ESET, including seeing how tools like xboot, yumi, and others layout files and config arguments and I still have had no results in integrating them within Medicat.

Also, Jayro. How did you build your multiboot iso? At first I thought it was only built with Sardu, but I am not so sure now...

I can send you my config files for getting eset to boot. I use the bootable windows version on Medicat, and i also had the linux version booting fine as well, but it took up more space. As for release, I'm aiming for April 23rd, as long as Lubuntu stays on track for an April 22nd release.

I used Sardu 3.0.0.0 to build the main multiboot ISO, and I have modified it extensively since then.

never knew about godmode , cheers nice feature... for others who didnt :

To enable it : Create a new folder on your Windows desktop (New > Folder) and save it with the text below:

GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}
