BootCD update is out
BootCD update is out
BootCD 0.3 is out. As covered in our OS X Utilities page, this utility allows you to create a customized bootable CD with a Dock that contains the utilities you select!
The update fixes the issues with auto-disk mounting. Also, disk utilities such as Drive10 now work correctly. You can run Drive10 on a disk, right off of the boot CD, without having to use Terminal. [Note: For the home page of the author, click here.]
The Notes file that comes with the software has some important information:
- This version of BootCD creates a 5 MB RAM Disk for various purposes. If you want to add things to the RAM Disk, drag them to the folder etc/RamDiskContents on the disk. Obviously, you shouldn't put more than 5 MB of files in there.
- This version of BootCD has the root password set to 'bootcd'.
- Please use Disk Copy and not Toast to burn the image to a CD. Toast messes with the boot blocks and will usually result in a non-bootable CD.
Update: Our Using BootCD page has additional information on how to use BootCD. We updated the page on Saturday (May 11) to reflect the changes in the new version.
