That's not multiboot (http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/multiboot.htm= l), that's bootmanager (https://mirbsd.bsdadvocacy.org:8890/cvs.cgi/src/sbin/bo= otsys/i386/mbrldr/mbr.S, and you need -DBOOTMANAGER for it). Already done that multiple times. Except for the timeout, I could do it in <10 minutes under DEBUG.COM - why reinvent the wheel? MirOS is free software (as in OSI). @Paul: no need to tell me, I know pine is not free. But if it says your mailer is broken, it probably is. Stop flamewarring, I've got worse things to do (dayjob). //Thorsten --=20 Solange man keine schmutzigen Tricks macht, und ich meine *wirklich* schmutzige Tricks, wie bei einer doppelt verketteten Liste beide Pointer XORen und in nur einem Word speichern, funktioniert Boehm ganz hervorragend.=09=09-- Andreas Bogk =FCber boehm-gc in d.a.s.r
