I have lots of ideas how to improve it. Improved it. It has commandline params now :-) This means included .exe is almost usable (if you are fine with hardcoded vga=0x303 or ready to patch it with binary editor) TODO: initrd, vga=xxx -- Best regards, VDA mailto:VDA@port.imtp.ilyichevsk.odessa.ua - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
