I would greatly prefer some VCS other than CVS.

CVS doesn't make it easy, but for a small project like this, there aren't many barriers to keeping a local fork if you want to. -Hollis _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
