I ran into trouble using xosl, finally traced to Mandrake 7.2 beta of
last week, which at runtime removed the partition table's active
partition flag, which xosl depends upon. Result: Unbootable system.
This problem did not occur with Boot Magic.
7.2 beta download of this morning (12 hours ago) no longer does this
and is usable with xosl.
But, why on earth would 7.2 beta installed runtime ever be looking at
anything outside its own partition? Very scary!
