    Not a good idea, MediCat needs to be on it's own USB stick.

    Kon-Boot has been updated. Any chances to include new versions in next update?

    Is it relatively simple to add say another windows 10 Live iso to your collective. Id like to add my copy of gandalf's windows live 10 redstone and windows 7 live to the boot order

    @Jayro Hello there, not sure if you had seen the message, as I forgot to mention you, but I figured to try again. I would really appreciate if you could lend us a hand with this issue.

    @TheMCNerd2017 , I think we have the same issue, so I figured you'd be interested.

    Thank you :)
    If I would like to play and learn a little bit, how could I do a medicat with multiboot. On English speaking sites I only found an installation guides with rufus, but If I try with Yumi, I'm not sure what distro do I have to choose, and why does it even matter?

    I'm sorry if I'm being annoying, but I'm curious

    Yumi has a MediCat setting. I'd try that, and then go from there adding more.

    Sorry, didn't mean to skip over you. I'm not notified about every comment on here. I did some digging, and found that not all BIOS support certain syscalls under Syslinux. So through no fault of your own, MediCat might just be incompatible with your board.

    Very odd. So apparently my 2013 Laptop(which is UEFI) is not compatible with certain syscalls under Syslinux? I can open the menus, I just can't choose any diagnostic utilities as they give the usual "not a COM32 image" error.

    Not sure if something changed in between, but I'm able to boot Medicat 16.04 from a burned DVD in the same device. Perhaps the different Syslinux versions changed BIOS handling syscalls?

    It's very well possible. I made sure v18.10 has the latest version.

    Can this be used to do a fresh install of windows 10 at all?

    @Jayro

    All my admiration to your work. Thanks A LOT :)

    I'm currently dowloading (via torrent) a 16.9Gb iso where your PNG explaining version is stating an uncompressed size of 15.4Gb. In fine, my goal is to have it on a 16Gb USB stick.

    Is the extra 1.5Gb (or, if we are considering compressed version, an extra 6Gb+, which is a lot) a trouble with size reporting, or have you added new things that goes over 16Gb ? Perhaps am i not downloading what matters ?

    Not all 16GB USB drives format to the same amount of usable space, so you might need to delete a few ISO images that you might not use from the ISO folder before burning it to a 16GB USB. I didn't intend to make it go over 16GB, it just came out this way. A 32GB flash drive can be had for just a few dollars these days, especially during the holiday seasons and during back-to-school.

    You can add medicat to an Easy2Boot USB drive.
    You can just copy the .ISO file over to the E2B drive (though not all things will work in MiniWindows such as Updating PortableApps, etc.) or you can convert the ISO to a 'flat-file' partition image (similar to Rufus) which also supports UEFI-booting...

    You will need a Windows system to make the .imgPTN file.
    First you must convert the ISO to a .imgPTN file (add 2GB for extra storage space). You do this by dropping the ISO onto the MPI_FAT32 desktop shortcut after installing the MPI Tool Kit. Choose Syslinux version 603 when prompted.
    Then copy the large .imgPTN file to the E2B USB stick and make sure it is contiguous (run \MAKE_THIS_DRIVE_CONTIGUOUS.cmd).
    Now you can 'switch-in' the .imgPTN file by selecting it from the E2B menu.
    To get parted magic to work, edit the "\pmagic\boot\syslinux\syslinux.cfg" file and change DEFAULT menu.c32 to DEFAULT /menu.c32 or just type [TAB] at the boot: prompt and then run an option - e.g. normal32
    I can't seem to get gparted or super grub2 working however....
