Linux-based bootable media
When using the media builder, you have to specify:
1. [optional] The parameters of the Linux kernel. Separate multiple parameters with spaces.
For example, to be able to select a display mode for the bootable Acronis Disk Director each time
the media starts, type: vga=ask
For a list of parameters, see Kernel parameters (p. 65).
2. The Acronis bootable components to be placed on the media:
Acronis Disk Director
Bootable version of the product that has almost the same functionality as in the Acronis Disk
Director for Windows operating systems — see Working under bootable media (p. 67) for
details.
3. [optional] The timeout interval for the boot menu plus the component that will automatically
start on timeout.
If not configured, the Acronis loader waits for someone to select whether to boot the
operating system (if present) or the Acronis component.
If you set, say, 10 sec., Acronis Disk Director will launch 10 seconds after the menu is
displayed.
4. The type of media to create. You can:
create CD, DVD or other bootable media such as removable USB flash drives if the hardware
BIOS allows for boot from such media
build an ISO image of a bootable disc to burn it later on to a blank disc
upload the selected components to Acronis PXE Server
5. Path to the media ISO file or the name or IP and credentials for PXE.
