Creating custom Multi-boot Images for beginners.
Well I made my own custom Multi Boot image and it was surprisingly easy using the instructions from here:-
https://megous.com/git/pinephone-multi-boot/about/
To download the file structure you need in your home directory, in terminal type
and create a build directory in home and drop the latest kernel in.
Removed all the distros in pinephone-multi-boot/distros/ except Mobian and Jumpdrive and added my favorite Nemo instead of Manjaro.
updated the README and config files to refer to the latest Nemo distro and Bookworm for Mobian also ran the script in p-boot/theme/
to generate a new menu splash pic for Nemo
Noticed an issue with one of the scripts.
Needed to change references from /p-boot/.build/ to /p-boot/dist/ in mkimage-boot.sh or you get a file missing error.
Created the multi-boot image, flashed, booted up and it works fine didn't bother to expand the partition yet as there was quite a bit of spare
space, Nemo boots up nicely and is coming on well. Very happy I can now plug my Pinephone in and just leave it to charge.
Just follow the instruction on https://megous.com/git/pinephone-multi-boot/about/
and you too will soon be creating your own multi-boot image.
p.s. Like many I am a bit nervous about playing with partitions, the best guide to expanding the partition i could find is here:-

btw I am Endeavour OS and I used the SUSE Studio image writer tool to flash the image to a 16g micro sd .
