Modules are an enhancement to UBCD Insert to allow us to provide you with additional software not part of
the base distribution. All that you need to do is download a module from
Sourceforge, add it to your /INSERT directory, burn and you're ready to go.
Note that the testcd cheatcode in Insert will only work if you generate MD5
checksums for the files. To this end, it is recommended you checkout
ubcdmod
- a script for Windows and Linux systems that will ease the customization procedure.
The Modules
Check SourceForge
for available modules.
How to install the modules
There are two ways to install modules you download: CDROM and USB drive. CDROM is the preferred method
since the USB method may not always work. Enhancements to the USB method will be improved in future versions.
CDROM Method
Extract the contents of the UBCD Full ISO and place the module in the directory INSERT.
Note that you must be using UBCD Full, not the Basic version.
USB Method
The only way to use modules from a USB device is to specify scanusb at the boot: prompt.
This has two disadvantages: A) The scanusb option may not always work since it's experimental and
B) it may cause Insert to mount hard drive partitions in it's attempt to locate modules on USB. If you do
use this method, simply place your modules in a directory named /INSERT off the root of your USB
device.
