This page assumes that you've read Storing ROMs and Booting Linux based ROMs using kexec.

Configuration file

Since v5, MultiROM should be able to boot any Linux ROM without changing anything in the code. This is done using configuration file rom_info.txt in ROM's folder. There is an example file in the repository - this file is configured to boot Ubuntu and contains comments about each of the options. You should be albe to understand the file by reading the comments.

Creating ROM's folder

Create new ROM folder (see Storing ROMs to know where) and put the rom_info.txt file with proper configuration in there. You usually also want to put root folder or image there. That is all.

Creating installation for ROM

MultiROM now has it's own installer for Linux-based ROMs. See README here: https://github.com/Tasssadar/multirom/tree/nexus7/installer
