The DISKDEFINES (Linux LiveCD Information File) is a text-based information file used by GNU/Linux – and in particular, LiveCD distributions – to store various information about the LiveCD and its image. It commonly consists of name, version, and other information concerning the source and destination of the LiveCD image. Additionally, it may include instructions on how to update files, patch any necessary changes, or otherwise configure one’s system to be able to run the disk.
Usability & Functionality
As the DISKDEFINES file is a text-based information file, it does not contain any data that can be interpretted or executed by a computer. Instead, it serves a purely descriptive purpose, telling GRUB or another boot manager what kind of CD image is being loaded, from where it is coming, and possibly – the destination and size of any associated files. This information allows GRUB to properly load the specified disk image during the startup process.
The DISKDEFINES file extension is related to similar extensions such as grub, .cfg, .conf, and .mnu, all of which serve the same purpose for various other operating systems and distributions.
Programs for LINUX system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .DISKDEFINES) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .DISKDEFINES extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .DISKDEFINES file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .DISKDEFINES extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .DISKDEFINES extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .DISKDEFINES file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .DISKDEFINES file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .DISKDEFINES file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .DISKDEFINES file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .DISKDEFINES file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
