Eh-hum, This is not meant toward any 'one' individual, and therefore is To: the list.

As you may have missed me saying, I know > all about this because _I've_been_testing_it_. As you may have I also hate to see what looks like an argument going on... not because it's an argument, but because it seems to be an argument that's accomplishing nothing. I've noticed people shouting back and forth about how and/or why this is or is not either party's problem... the bad part is it's hard to get useful work done when you're busy writing hateful emails. I would personally like to see development efforts focussed upon more important (to me, at least) features such as soft-updates (i greatly appreciate the effort which is being put into this and only wish I had enough knowledge to be of help) and SMP. I'm sure someone and/or some group of people feel DOS-bootable support is important, but are *they* working on it themselves? If so, more power to them... If not, then they should not be so rude to those who are working on this project as a whole. It does, in fact, seem kind of silly to focus upon getting on OS to boot from within another OS (not a trivial thing by far) when there are still key portions of the OS itself that needs work. > network workstation bootstraps. We also support the El Torito CDROM > bootstram environment, which is a superset of the BBS mentioned above. Which works beautifully for me... Great work. > http://www.acpi.org/ > http://www.dmtf.org/ > http://www.microsoft.com/hwdev Hey... look...
