IsoLinux Mate

IsoLinux Mate is a free tool that helps you create display files for Syslinux-based bootloaders. If you're not familiar, Syslinux is a group of bootloaders that work with IBM computers running on the Linux kernel. The most well-known version is IsoLinux, which stores boot data right on a CD instead of using an old floppy disk.

Create Display Files Easily

With IsoLinux Mate, making display files for Linux bootloaders is super simple. The interface is straightforward and has just the essential options, so you won’t get lost in a sea of features. The main part of the program is the editing pane where you can type out plain text and mix it with commands easily.

Speed Up Your Workflow

You could use any basic text editor for this task, but IsoLinux Mate makes life easier by letting you add commands into your display file quickly. Want to clear the screen or change colors? Just pick what you want and hit a button!

Add Some Fun with ASCII Characters

This tool even lets you include ASCII characters effortlessly. You can find all the symbols you need in its special section, which adds some extra flair to your messages.

Preview Your Work Before Saving

Before you save your message to your computer, check it out first! Use the 'Preview' function to see how everything will look once it's up on the screen at boot time. A new dialog will pop up showing your preview along with options to 'Refresh' or 'Close'. Pretty neat, right?

Your Custom Boot Display Awaits!

IsoLinux Mate helps you create personalized display files for your Syslinux bootloader that show up when your computer starts. You can write whatever message you like and even switch up the background color to make it pop!
