I'm not certain, how to support DOS and Linux boot disks with the script path, but the layout: scheme translates to both parted and fdisk easily (for parted I have a script already). The old "fdisk_cmd" is supported for elder configurations, but "partition_cmd" overrules it if present. > predosemu_cmd - System command to run before dosemu > alt_dosemu_cmd - Alternate System command to run in place of dosemu > postdosemu_cmd - System command to run after dosemu > I like them. > I will be happy to create ready-to-go patches go, but need some feedback. I will do the same for the partition_cmd idea ;-) Bye - -- Steffen Kaiser -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iQEVAwUBRzwnCdOkJV1AYoBwAQLpIgf/bBtTj6l5tfoyXcqLoAG9h21vaTmLmXC8 auSnndspeVjdkFExVEgwqoQHZm4THY5JsxouSMhLxiIu/bsYk9mrm3Fn/zycM9EV 6MVSM18IqHFrvphraHftoz06Y0SxiHUnT03q8YaUrY7pEBGefvpH8wVEFrLM3MHU n39OH4hH+H33u5fcrV1J0GyOt09oYyFiosrDz8TILDkfzwbbHmJ2xBFFURFj0pOb OaxNaglqj75dm4YeFMI317iZTfa3vmbZAujOq+KS1ced1kZYsimKCs1uFuoJNtuG JU3o5Gbw3yAnEKT64OG0qOWrk38ETEF4cKvelxeZqqMO31yq2za+vA== =7Ozm -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
