I don't officially know who the kernel devs are, but presumably Kenneth "Jeremy" Davis and Bart Oldeman. In other words, everybody's often busy, so if you don't get a proper reply, if I were you I'd email (one or both of) them directly. > [1] http://rufus.akeo.ie This just redirects here for me: http://pbatard.github.com/rufus/ Something like this is good as many people (even CWS of CWSDPMI) always lose their bootable USB drives. ;-) > PS: is there a reason why one must have an AUTOEXEC.BAT present, even a > blank one, to avoid the prompts for date&time in FreeCOM?
