Barry Allen - ViX 1.2

[MKD]

Has anybody managed to install , i keep getting unable to find barry allen in packages so it aborts

 

[marty]

I get the same thing too.
I tried the new (0.99) Meoboot too, no joy either.

As far as im aware you can't multiboot vix as it needs to be in flash

 

[MKD]

ViX is in flash i was thinking of installing and testing other images from usb .

Can anyone confirm if using the vix image in flash, can multiboot be set up to test other images, via Meoboot Barry Allen or any other way.

Im keen to give a few other images a try but want to keep vix 1.2 as my main image

Not much help on this topic .

MKD i imagine you have tried both meoboot and barry allen with no success on the vix image?

 

[MKD]

Yes , meoboot requires the flash drive to be formated via BlackHole Device Panel , as for Barry Allen i have no idea . Would be good to know if someone has succesfully installed it , i have not tried manual install though -nodep i think after the package name .

I have installed VTI today as it says support for Barry Allen , shame it won't install on that either for some reason a problem for VTI team

I have yet to grasp what Barry Allen and / or Meoboot actually are and how exactly to install one, the other, or both.
I merely understand they are some means of installing one image on the receiver (in 'flash'?) and another on a USB disk, then somehow determining which one you want to use at any time. However apparently image compatibility makes it something of a minefield.

If anybody knows the location of a very clear, English, and step by step tutorial, or has the will to write one, please offer the link or write one for us all!

Thanks,

Vix is a single boot image and needs to be on flash

personally i would not recommend any sort of dual boot but it is possible and if using a oe1.6 image then all other images must remain oe 1.5 wont interchange on dual boot with oe1.6

ther are many tutorials about

sorry cant help you any more as i dont use multi boot

That's the feeling I'm getting. Flashing images over and over again for testing one at a time may be a little tedious but presumably it's the best way.

As for good complete and English tutorials, so far I've missed them. Maybe I need to Google more skillfullly ...... !

PS I know various posts of mine suggest I am a moaner who wants things spoodfed. I'm really not .... I just get frustrated when things are presented poorly with assumptions or just don't work! Those comments are not specific to any image or plugin, but generally.
