GParted Gnome Partition Editor uses libparted to detect and manipulate devices and partitiontables while several (optional) filesystemtools provide support for filesystems not included in libparted. Read more hot GRUB GRand Unified Bootloader - an attempt to produce a bootloader for IBM PC-compatible machines that has both the capability to be friendly to beginning or otherwise non-technically interested users and the flexibility to help experts in diverse environments hot aeuio aeuio (Another Early Userspace Init Option) is a simple, easily customizable framework to produce the user's choice of an initrd or initramfs package. automodule a small program to enumerate all the PCI and USB devices in a system, check if the device is supported by the kernel and automatically load necessary modules for this devices. Must be used in small embedded systems with less disk space BG-Tiny Linux Bootdisk BG-Tiny Linux Bootdisk is a Linux bootdisk that does not use a ramdisk, so it will run on computers with very little RAM. It is basically a somewhat extended fork of Tiny Linux Bootdisk. It is based on Linux 2.4 series, uClibc, and BusyBox. It includes dosfsprogs, e2fsprogs, gpart, lilo, and ms-sys. Supported filesystems are ext2, ext3, iso9660, tmpfs, and vfat. BICK Bootable ISO Construction Kit builds a bootable ISO image from a system file tree for Linux. Enough sample files are included to get started making a rescue CD. BMConf BMConf configures the Smart Boot Manager from a Linux console. Boot Control a set of alternative Master Boot Records, together with an installation program. The installation program replaces the current MBR with one of Boot Control's, which displays a small menu at boot time Bootprofile Bootprofile allows setup of various boot profiles based on different networking environments. BootRip a script designed to take the hassle out of network installs of Redhat 7.0 BootRoot BootRoot creates a boot disk with lilo, a kernel and an initrd image. The initrd script mounts another root disk with a compressed (gzip or bzip2) filesystem. BpBatch BpBatch is a versatile remote-boot processor. BpBatch is a PXE secondary bootstrap. It takes control at an early stage of the boot process. Burg-manager Burg-manager is an intuitive interface that simplify installation and configuration of burg bootloader. Burg-manager allows to install many beautiful themes from a big gallery. CD Shell a scriptable menu system that provides the ability to create interactive multi-boot optical discs. It will make PC-bootable compact discs or DVD's that can select from several program loaders or kernels located on the disc, or boot from other local disk drives that are attached to the system CMDInfo allows you to use settings from the boot commandline or from /etc/lilo.conf using append="..." in batch scripts Daemond a daemon control daemon. It can be used as a faster and more flexible replacement for init, or by itself. It has the ability to track complex dependencies, and allows package management systems to easily add and maintain them. Darik's Boot and Nuke DBAN is a self-contained boot floppy that securely wipes the hard disks of most computers. DBAN will automatically and completely delete the contents of any hard disk that it can detect, which makes it an appropriate utility for bulk or emergency data destruction. Read more DiskDrake The purpose of the DiskDrake project is to simplify hard disk partitioning. DiskDrake is graphical, simple and powerful, and licensed under the GPL (GNU General Public License). Two skill levels are available (newbie, expert). It's written entirely in Perl and Perl/Gtk. diskegrator The diskegrator is a utility for integrating directory disk images and a bootloader into a bootable image. Dracut Dracut is an event driven initramfs infrastructure. efibootmgr efibootmgr displays and allows the user to edit the Intel Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) boot manager menu. Etherboot Etherboot is a software package for creating ROM images that can download code over an Ethernet network to be executed on an x86 computer. Many network adapters have a socket where a ROM chip can be installed. Etherboot is code that can be put in such a ROM. Etherboot is normally used for for booting PCs diskless. ext2resize GNU ext2resize is a package which allows resizing ext2 and ext3 filesystems (both shrinking and growing). The ext2resize tool is for resizing unmounted filesystems, and ext2online is for growing a mounted filesystem (it needs a kernel patch to work, however). Extended-IPL Extended-IPL is an OS boot selector. It can select which OS in a hard disk is booted. FIPS FIPS is a program for non-destructive splitting of harddisk partitions. GAG a graphical boot manager, like LILO or OS/2's Boot Manager. It operates in graphic mode (13h), and doesn't need his own partition gBootRoot gBootRoot is a tool written in Perl/Gtk+ used for the creation of a two-disk Linux system. Gpart a tool which tries to guess the primary partition table of a PC-type hard disk in case the primary partition table in sector 0 is damaged, incorrect or deleted. The guessed table can be written to a file or device gPXE gPXE is a network bootloader. It provides a direct replacement for proprietary PXE ROMs, with many extra features such as DNS, HTTP, iSCSI, and more. GriME Grime is a Gtk+ based front-end for configuring the appearence of GRUB's boot menu. Grime allows you to modify the menu colors, import and select a splash image, or hide the menu. It is meant to be used in conjunction with other tools that edit the GRUB menu contents, such as GNOME System Tools or Debian's update-grub, not an all-in-one configuration utility such as grubconf. Grub Customizer Grub Customizer is a graphical interface to configure the grub2/burg settings with focus on the individual list order - without losing the dynamical behavior of grub. Read more grub-choose-default grub-choose-default is a simple but handy GUI to set the grub default for the next boot. It works under Linux and Windows. grubconfig grubconfig helps you install the GRUB bootloader on your system. grubinstall grubinstall is a simple program with clear documentation to take the mystery out of the GRUB boot loader. It installs GRUB in an especially simple, robust, hard-to-screw-up form: in a dedicated contiguous boot area at the beginning of the boot disk. This is in contrast to the tools in the GRUB package, which get filesystems involved. gujin will boot your PC and analyse your filesystems. It will display a graphical menu for you to select which (mostly Linux) system to boot. Intended to replace LILO and Loadlin, written in C with GCC, fully real mode jinit jinit is based on an extended version of Richard Gooch's need scheme for inits. It has complete service start and stop (rollback) support with dependency tracking. If you stop the network service for example, all network daemon services will also be stopped. kexec-loader kexec-loader is a Linux-based bootloader that aims to fit on a floppy and have a grub-like interface and configuration system. It loads kernels using the kexec system calls. KLilo KLilo is a LILO configuration tool for KDE. Lilo-colors a patch which allows lilo to display a fancy color bootmessage on any VGA card LILOload searches all primary partitions of all harddisks available, according to the PC BIOS, for LILO. If LILO is found, it loads and starts it. It only looks in partitions of the type 0x05, 0x0f, 0x83, and 0x85. Type 0x83 means "Linux native", the other types are used for extended partitions Linux graphical bootsplash Linux graphical bootsplash is the graphical boot process for the linux kernel although it is not yet a part of the official kernel. mbootpack a tool that takes a multiboot kernel and modules (e.g. a Xen VMM, linux kernel and initrd), and packages them up as a single file that looks like a bzImage linux kernel Miniboot a minimalistic bootloader for embedded systems. It scans the flash for an image to start if the checksum is correct mkinitramfs mkinitramfs is intended to create the ultimate initramfs image. It's designed to boot from any media (SATA, PATA, SCSI, USB, CD-ROM, etc.) without any changes being made to your disk. However, it is very simple (about 400 lines of code). mksysdisp a small but fast Converter/Generator for the bootmessages used by syslinux ms-sys ms-sys is for writing Microsoft compatible boot records. The program does the same as Microsoft "fdisk /mbr" to a hard disk or "sys d:" to a floppy or FAT32 partition except that it does not copy any system files, only the boot record is written. Netboot Netboot allows to remote boot a computer over an IP network without access to a hard disk or a diskette. It is therefore ideally suited for diskless or thin clients using an x86 processor. Nilo Nilo is the Network Interface Loader. NILO will boot Linux, FreeBSD, Windows 95/98/NT4 and support the Intel PXE standard, and is suitable for burning into ROM. NotNet Profiler lets you specify a linux kernel boot parameter and loads the chosen network scheme (+ related services). When logging in, it changes the browser's proxy configuration according to the current network scheme nuni nuni is a boot loader for a Linux system that uses the ext2 file system and IDE drives. nuni handles various ext2 block sizes, and handles both small and large kernels.
