How to make Multiple ISO bootable Pendrive (Windows & Linux same time)

					
					
 by  | Sep 15, 2014 | Howtos, Linux, OS, Windows














How to make Multiple ISO bootable Pendrive (Windows & Linux same time)


Connect your usb drive to your pc (min 8gb)


Open up gparted tool in you linux


format your pendrive in fat32 format








 





after that download grub4dos-0.4.5c (not grub4dos-0.4.6a)





here is the link https://code.google.com/p/grub4dos-chenall/downloads/list















 


and extract it to the desktop






 


type following command in terminal


 df 













which will give you details about your pendrive and all drives


    

  • from there you can find your filesystem name of pendrive
    • 





    

  • in this case its /dev/sde1 but in the following command line we only need to use /dev/sde
    • 



then install the grub4dos on the MBR with zero second time-out on your USB Stick,by typing the following command in the terminal 





 sudo ~/Desktop/grub4dos-0.4.5c/bootlace.com --time-out=0 /dev/sde 






Note: You can change the path to your grub4dos folder. sde is your USB and can be checked by ” df ” command in a terminal or by using the gparted or disk utility tools


Copying Easy2Boot files to USB


your pendrive is ready to boot , but we need menu files, which are necessary to detect the .ISO files in your USB. 





go to Easy2Boot website http://www.easy2boot.com/download/


then extract its files to your pendrive




after that you find both windows and linux related ISO folders simply copy your ISO’s to corresponding  OS folders












Adding Linux .ISO files 








 After that adding Windows ISO Files to Windows Version Folder 


dont just put windows ISO file to _ISO/WINDOWS like _ISO/LINUX because in windows folder  there is Version Folders you have to put it there like ” XP,VISTA,WIN7,WIN8,SVR2K8R2,SVR2012 “


after this you need to defragment the folders in the USB drive,To defrag your USB drive, download the defrags-1.1.1.gz file from





http://defragfs.sourceforge.net/download.html


extract it to desktop
then unmount using this command




 sudo umount /dev/sdd1


/dev/sdd1  (i have reboot pc so its changes from sde to sdd) type in terminal        ” df  ” to find current one 


sdd1 is the partition on my usb which has the E2B files.




 sudo mkdir ~/Desktop/usb && sudo mount /dev/sdd1 ~/Desktop/usb





 sudo perl ~/Desktop/defragfs ~/Desktop/usb -f










				
					

				
					


				
															
Swap space for Linux

					
					
 by  | Aug 27, 2014 | Howtos, Linux


What is Swap? 




How much is really needed ?


Linux divides its physical memory (RAM) into chunks called pages. Swapping is the process whereby pages get transferred to a preconfigured hard disk area. The quantum of swap space is determined during the Linux installation process. This article is all about swap space, and explains the term in detail so that newbies don’t find it a problem choosing the right amount of it when installing linux


Swapping is required for two reasons:




    

  • When more memory than is available in physical memory (RAM) is required by the system, the kernel swaps less used pages and gives the system enough memory to the run the application smoothly.
    • 

  • Certain pages are required by the application only at the time of initialisation and never again. such files are transferred to the swap space as soon as the application access these pages.
    • 





Earlier rule stated that the amount of the swap space should be double the amount of physical memory (RAM) available. i.e. , if we have 8 Gb of RAM , then we ought to allot 16 Gb to the swap space , But this is not very effective these days.




Amount of swap space depends on the kind of application you run and kind of user you are 


The following rules can effectively help to improve Linux’s performance on your system


For Normal Servers:



    

  • Swap space should be equal to RAM  size if RAM  size is less than 2 Gb
    • 

  • Swap space should be equal to 2 Gb if RAM  size is greater than 2 Gb . , 
    • 



For heavy duty servers with fast storage requirements:




    

  • Swap space should be equal to RAM  size if RAM size is less than 8 Gb
    • 

  • Swap space should be equal to 0.5 times the size of the RAM if the RAM  size is greater than 8 Gb
    • 



if you have already installed Linux, you can check your swap space by using the following command in the Linux terminal :
