I have Lubuntu 13.04-64 bit loaded on a USB flashdrive and it boots up a computer perfect. I have a folder on root called "32 bit" it has Lubuntu 13.04-32 bit extracted in it. What I need is someone to show me how to configure syslinux so when I boot the UFD, syslinux stops and asks to boot the 64 bit or 32 bit Lubuntu then after selecting one it should boot up the selected one. A dual boot flash drive 64-32 bit. The person interested in this job should make their solution work on their UFD before bidding. Winner gets $100. 2/25/2014 8:30 pm cst. Thanks.

Hi, Interested In this project, I would like to work on this multiboot USB drive. I have previously created USB drive with multiboot option previously. My Proposal for this project: 1. Create 2 partitions on the USB drive, first one would be FAT for storing grub loader, which contains all the options to select the Difference operating systems. 2. Second partition would be the syslinux code for 32 bit and 64 bit operating system. 3. grub loader needs to modified in order to take care of 2 different operating system configurations. 4. Also we can share the common files between both operating system by means of file system layer partition. Let me konw what additional information needed. Regards Gokul

Hello and thank you for posting this challenge! This is my first project as a freelancer on this website so please don't mind my rank. Here are my solutions to your query: 1. I can provide proper boot config files via email so you can place them on usb stick and boot both x32 and x64 versions (not really ok since you might want to try other linux flavors, not just lubuntu). 2. easy step-by-step guide on how to create/add unlimited unix/linux/ubuntu/centos/debian etc flavors to your USB stick and boot them on the fly (via boot menu) without having to modify configs. I personally had the same dilemma sometime ago so the solution you are asking for is within my grasp, implemented and tested: both x32&x64 lubuntus are booting up fine from my USB stick. If something goes wrong, I will also troubleshoot the issues you are experiencing at your end and will ask further questions in order to fix them/adapt to your current environment/platform. I can send you friendly materials (screenshots, movies taken off my tests) via email or other way of file transfer facility, that reflect the functionality as per your requirements in this project. Please do let me know if you require further clarifications on my methodology. Thank you, Dragos Ciobanu Newbie freelancer UNIX administrator
