That's all I want from it. having dealt with it recently, what is your opinion on the current state of Lilo code? is there any possibility that you take up its maintanance, without adding new features and likely without having anything to do really? its still good to have someone who knows the code of the package as a reference for questions, CVEs and such. indeed Lilo works and is documented, so maintenance shouldn't be hard. I know many people who for many reasons and some unique features still prefer to use Lilo cheers to Hendrik, I like your floppy lilo boota approach! it allows to recycle, use space as its already organized in floppy holders, plus is very tactile and old school. One can tell if a bootsector is damaged from the sounds of the floppy driver ! eheh ciao _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
