Doug White once stated: => Wait! Smarter then what? So it can boot NT and Win98 for some => weenies, or, actually do something useful (not sure what, though)? => Why am I to waste space (even so little) "to be compatible with other => OSes", if there will never be any other OSes? = =So you'll be compatible with your BIOS as well. Many BIOSen get really, =really torqued if your partition table isn't normal. I'm yet to see a BIOS, for which this is true. May be, I'm just lucky... =It's a negligible amount of space. Just say 'Yes'. :) Althouh, I'm delighted to see my opinion matter so much :), I don't see the benefit. Making the loader smarter? To do what? To play some silly animations, while loading kernel?
