Answer» does any one know of a Linux emulator that I can call from a 95 boot disk?
I am working on a boot USB drive that will give you the ability to load a Linux environment and make modifications like add users, change passwords, ext.
I am trying to use syslinux but keep getting an error "can not run in dos".
thanks, wayneWhat purpose will this disk be for?the disk currently is used for ghost, G disk, kill disk, and securerase. I am trying to load a Linux environment that will allow me to change user info.
I would be able to add, remove, change the password, elevate the PERMISSIONS, ext.
do you know of a win utility that will do this? Or is there a better option for this then Linux? I was concerned that you may want to create a hacking tool.no I work for the Florida Department of Transportation. I am trying to update a boot USB I have been working on. Currently I have it auto dect. the nic and load the DRIVERS. It also will erase the hard drive in the manner of the users choice.
I am trying to get a "admin tool set" for it. This would include the following:
HDD testing software. memtest local user access and control defrag ext.
thank you, wayneYou are working for the State of Florida. How come you are getting advice on how to do your job from a teenage computer hobby site? That doesn't quite add up somehow. Don't they have an IT dept at the Transportation Dept? And software audit policies? ok thanks!Quote from: wbrost on December 23, 2008, 11:32:47 AM ok thanks!
QED I think. yes we do. I am one of the techs. I was just trying to see if any one knew of a way to boot linux off of a win boot usb.
The reason I came to this site is because I have received help with my dos and batch efforts. Up to this point I have not had a bad experience.
I do not under stand the comment about software audit policies. And as far as the "OK thanks!" that was in response to your suggestion. SORRY. Crossed wires. It seems to me that if you are looking for a kind of sys admin's USB Swiss Army KNIFE, you should forget Win95 and a long look at MiniPE. Specifically a variant called BARTPE, or you could roll your own.
