I didn't notice the license differences... good point (btw, I would have prefered the bootmanager to also have the LGPL license... maybe it's possible to get the CDROM boot code dual licensed or something like that).
Anyway, this does this mean we also can't do the following? : * fix any problems in the bootmanager or plex86 that prevents plex86 to be able to *run* the bootmanager (from a floppy) * make an image of a floppy containing the bootmanager (or tell people how to make one) * put the floppy image online somewhere? --- Jeroen
