    Openmultiboot Guide?

    Is there a guide anywhere on how to use Openmultiboot?

    I've downloaded the plugin and installed, opened and select my HDD. I've copied the image i want into /media/hdd/open-multiboot-upload but I'm not sure what to do next and how to get back to base image if I flash a new one.

    Thanks Abu for the great guide, last question....

    Is the HDD the best place to install this or would I be better of using a USB?

    Flash media is faster than a mechanical HDD.

    Openmultiboot Guide?

    Don't mix up Hardware multiboot with OpenMultiboot plugin.

    You have a HD51, you don't need to use OMB.

    Why do you want to use OMB (a plugin that works on most receivers, where image is on HDD) and not hardware multiboot (where images are on internal memory. Only a few receivers do this)?

    Have you got a link for the hardware multiboot?

    Is that multiboot switcher you're talking about: https://www.world-of-satellite.com/s...ltiboot-images

    Otherwise i'm unsure where to find hardware multiboot.

    There is nothing to install, it is part of image.

    Flashing image

    Use Image Manager to flash an image, you will be prompted as to what slot to install it on.

    Select Image
    In restart menu, you can select which slot to boot from.

    When i go on image manager it doesn't ask about slots when i select the image it just says are you sure you want to flash on Mutant hd51

    Image i'm trying to slot as is PurE2 unless it isn't supported.

    I'm assuming i need to use multiboot?

    But not familiar how to get an image to show on that.

    Sorry, should have said, you will get the slot message on next page in process.

    As a separate process, can you post a screenshot from the about page?
