Subject: [ANNOUNCE] Gujin-0.2 boot/Linux system loader

 Hello,

 I have uploaded on:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/gujin/
 a new version of my bootloader. It loads and analyse a vmlinuz
 file (do not need LILO) selected by the user using a graphical
 menu (up to 1600x1200 32 BPP) and a mouse (serial or PS2).
 It find all possible vmlinuz* by scanning FAT12/FAT16 and E2FS
 partitions using BIOS/EBIOS/IDE drivers.

 Right now it can only be installed on a floppy disk so there is
 no risk of crashing the tester's partition table (the code to
 write to hard drive is not included).

 It is written in C with GCC and execute in real mode. It is GPL.

 There is a HowTo (containing a FAQ) here:
http://sourceforge.net/docman/?group_id=15465

 I would be nice if some of you (having 5 minutes and a spare 1.44M
 floppy) download the 5 minutes test at:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=15465&release_id=18235
 and report bugs/success story (maybe not on this list).
 Just "zcat boot144.img.gz > /dev/fd0" and reboot.

 It is neither finished nor perfect, but should work on any
 "standart PC".

 Sorry to be little off-topic.
 Etienne.
