In the following tutorial, I will show you How to Boot an ISO from a USB Flash Drive.  Syslinux is used to install a MBR to your Flash Drive and make the devices partition active (bootable), GRUB is started via a syslinux.cfg file. Grub then becomes the boot loader for it’s CD Emulator. We confirmed this process works by Booting the Memtest86+ ISO, and the Free DOS Image, and we even booted the Ubuntu 9.10 ISO from USB (See MultiBoot USB ISO). I would imagine many Linux ISO and other images would boot and run from the USB device.

How to Boot an ISO from a USB Flash Drive
The Memtest86+ ISO is included as an example, but also makes for a great tool to use for testing System Memory for problems. The FreeDOS Image is also included which may be useful for running DOS based applications or for performing firmware updates from your USB.

1. Download and run BootMyISO.exe, and follow the onscreen instructions
2. Restart your PC booting from the USB device and select Memtest86+or FreeDOS from the Menu

If all went well, you should be running the Memtest86+ ISO or FreeDOS directly from your USB device.

Are you understanding the NetSuite Theme better now? In this post I will show you examples of using “Custom Web Site Tags” in your NetSuite Theme.

What are Custom Web Site Tags?
You can define custom tags to customize specific aspects of your store. You create custom tags to define information for each individual tab in your Web store. Then, you insert these tags into your HTML templates. You define your tag substitutions on tab and category records.

This technique and the above background image is credited to this site. Here is what this technique is going to accomplish:

• Fills entire page with image, no white space
• Scales image as needed
• Retains image proportions
• Image is centered on page
• Does not cause scrollbars
• Cross-browser compatible
• Isn’t some fancy shenanigans like Flash

This is a very tall order, and we are going to be pulling out all kinds of different stuff to make it happen. First of all, because the image needs to scale, a traditional CSS background-image is already disqualified. That leaves us with an inline image.

How to Use Apache Axis

Here are the instructions if you use Apache Axis to build your SOAP client.

1. Ensure you are using java version 1.4.2_04 or later (earlier versions of 1.4.2 had problems with the https:// protocol).
2. Download Apache Axis 1.1 or 1.2 from http://ws.apache.org – all the libs within should be in the current classpath.
3. Download the JavaMail jar and the Java Activation jar from http://java.sun.com – all the libs within should also be in the current classpath.
4. Download the Amazon MIME WSDL file here.
5. To generate the generated files from the WSDLs you run a command similar to this:

java -cp axislibaxis-ant.jar;axislibaxis.jar;axislibcommons-discovery.jar;
axislibcommons-logging.jar;axislibjaxrpc.jar;axisliblog4j-1.2.8.jar;axislibsaaj.jar;
axislibwsdl4j.jar org.apache.axis.wsdl.WSDL2Java -v -o ..src -p
com.yourcompany.yourpackage merchant-interface-mime.wsdl

Make sure you are pointing to the jar files correctly. This command assumes the WSDL is in the current directory.

Please note: the line breaks in this example are to help the display of the command.
