How E2B Works Many multiboot solutions such as YUMI, Multisystem, XBOOT, etc. work by recognising what the payload/ISO file is (or you need to tell it what type it is) and then it will create it’s own special menu which is specific to that version of Linux ISO. They typically use special ‘cheat codes’ to boot directly
If you create a standard E2B v2 USB drive with agFM, then you can usually secure UEFI64-boot from it by booting from the second (FAT32) partition. However, some systems will not Secure UEFI64-boot from the second partition because it uses a Microsoft-signed grub2-based Kaspersky EFI boot file which has been blacklisted by Microsoft. This means

File Extensions E2B looks at the file extension to decide how to boot to the payload file. To change the way a payload file will be executed by E2B, you can simply change its file extension, for example if you rename fred.iso to fred.isomem then E2B will load the file into memory before executing it. Note: If you
Fedora can use a persistence file but it must be on a FAT (or ext) partition. We therefore need to use a .imgPTN file so that we can create a FAT32 volume. 1. Download your Fedora Live ISO file – I used Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-33-1.2.iso. 2. Install the MPI Tool Kit onto your Windows system 3. Drag-and-Drop

Linux distros such as Ubuntu, Lubuntu, KUbuntu, Elementary OS, Linux Mint are base on Ubuntu and will contain a /casper folder inside the ISO. They must recognise the ‘persistent’ boot parameter and automatically look for a disk volume with a volume name of ‘casper-rw’. Using the E2B and agFM menu systems, you can rename the

Puppy Linux is very lightweight and also has a Live-Persistent save feature where it can create its own save file (you don’t need to create a persistence file yourself). All we need to do is add the ‘psavemark=1’ keyword into the kernel parameters (which is what E2B does when you use the .isopup file extension). So

Partition Image files Use Partition Images for 100% UEFI Secure Boot compatibility (no shim or MOK Manager needed) and/or where container files such as ISOs, IMGs or VHDs do not work and a flat-file partition is needed. 2024-05-16 MakePartImage v106 is latest – includes support for booting Ubuntu/XUbuntu casper-based payloads. Example 1 – .imgPTN file
Make an E2B USB drive Note: If you have a large USB drive, use the Gear Wheel button and make Ptn1=127GB, Ptn2=1GB and Ptn3 for the remainder. You can add payload files to Partition 3 if you wish (e.g. (Ptn3:)\_ISO\LINUX\Ubuntu.iso) – then copy the file “\_ISO\docs\Sample mnu files\E2B Menus\PTN3_ADD_ALL_FOLDERS_TO_MENU.mnu” to the (Ptn1:\_ISO\MAINMENU folder.
