    Default Custom os

    Where in the blinking world do I find the Custom OS's, I have been every where and cant even get close. I don't understand why there isn't a link on EFI's home page? or do I need a "special magical decoder ring", My current OS is 12212156

    Or am just to slow to find it?? LOL

    First up have a read over this tutorial...
    http://download.efilive.com/Tutorial...20Tutorial.pdf

    The .tun files talked about in that document are stored here:
    :\Users\YourPCUserName\Documents\EFILive\V7.5\Bins\Custom OS

    Hope that helps.

    Cheers,
    Ross

    Thanks for making this thread by the way. The tutorial did not say where to find the custom OS and I did the same search through my files as you . You'd think they would be where EFI Live was stored on the PC. who would have thought they would be in user documents. ?????

    From memory I think it was a permissions thing with Windows, on some users PC's Windows complains when all the security is set to high and users try to store tune files in the programs files directories. By defaulting to the 'user documents' Windows plays much nicer, quite common programs will be set up like this. Check where your Word documents are stored to by default.

    Yes, typically on a Windows system that's where any user files go, under the Documents tree...

    tune and log and dash settings files are considered "documents".

    Also, by being separate from the program files allows you to copy them to a USB stick a simple backup.
