Or.. one could move it to kernel. But that is not as such a kernel component. More like a system library functionality. Actually setjmp might be used in bitmap loaders. _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
