How work the extra option?

How work the extra folder? How to manage extra ISO?

The extra folder (/ISO/extra) beginning it was just a "parking lot" for the files. It was created to position some anti-virus stand-alone type AVZ then be used by Windows PE

There have been requests for the user to add software could not directly supported. In this case you should extract the files from the ISO, move them into the folder extra. Edit extra.cfg with the configuration file so that it appears bootable. Putting the ISO folder in the "extra" without extra.cfg prepare to boot from file does not lead to any results. You can understand that good management leads to extra folder have unlimited resources.

See example at bottom with Acronis True Image*.
