It is not in vgabios.c is it ? i say that that because i believe it was a common file for every build... thanks again. > If you have some time, feel free to fix the cyberblade code.

I would gladly help ... what I could is bringing my doc to you and LinuxBios people. But I write it in french since i'll prepare a 'conference' at my university based upon it: hey, my intented audience is frenchy. Moreover, i've led it as a study of project, well sure that's no a burden it but for example it's a bit offside the way you present the topic in your doc. But it is detailled, stuffed with example and very newbie friendly, at least I could swear :) Though it need some reform to fit your structure. Listen, if you or anyone is interested in it, knowing that and, is a somewhat good french to english translator I'll share with' glad to have a early point of view ... and correction. mathieu _______________________________________________ Linuxbios mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.clustermatic.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxbios
