I should jump in here and mention that the intent of the project, when we started, was: Linux == BIOS, i.e. LinuxBIOS. The shrinking flash parts changed our plans but not the name. I would still prefer, overall, to have kept linux in the flash as the real BIOS, but that is impossible on many platforms; hence the 'payload' concept. ron _______________________________________________ Linuxbios mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.clustermatic.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxbios
