--00000000000041be4e061e67728d Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Hello, list Ive been looking at boots.S and found some things that could use improvement. I've changed a few things around here and there, but so far have not broken compatibility in terms of appearance and interaction. How would the list feel about breaking compatibility? Would you all find it acceptable if I was able to add features like booting from a logical partition and adding error checking capabilities for the MBR (and thus the ability to discern a GPT from MBR drive)? Last time there were any major changes seems to have been 20 years ago, what does the list think? --00000000000041be4e061e67728d Content-Type: text/html; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <div dir=3D"auto"><span style=3D"font-size:12.8px">Hello, list</span><div d= ir=3D"auto" style=3D"font-size:12.8px"><br></div><div dir=3D"auto" style=3D= "font-size:12.8px">Ive been looking at boots.S and found some things that c= ould use improvement.
