(As an extension to what goes in the MBR?) (2) One component in the download package is SBM - another Boot Manager (which I had also tried separately but could not get to execute on a floppy, for trial purposes). Why is that there? It also encourages one to install the XOSL partition manager. (3) Although I signed up for the IOSL forum, it seems I would have to then register with Yahoo to do anything useful (e.g. ask questions). All I wanted to do is install XSOL in the MBR and try it, but the doc keeps talking about 'DOS', and 'FAT32', and LILO! (I use GRUB as bootloader), so I abandoned it in favour of Extipl - though GAG has a nice user interface. -- /\/\aurice </PRE> <!--endarticle--> <HR> <P><UL> <!--threads--> <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="011720.html">[Mageia-dev] Grub and Grub2 </A></li> <LI>Next message: <A HREF="011730.html">[Mageia-dev] Grub and Grub2 </A></li> <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> <a href="date.html#11725">[ date ]</a> <a href="thread.html#11725">[ thread ]</a> <a href="subject.html#11725">[ subject ]</a> <a href="author.html#11725">[ author ]</a> </LI> </UL> <hr> <a href="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-dev">More information about the Mageia-dev mailing list</a><br> </body></html>
