Hopefully your student will send in patches to grub-devel. Although I will not have a lot of time next few months, I will make sure I will review these patches and answer questions from both students. Or do you want to wait with this until the project is finished? Whatever you prefer to do, I think it is wise that we cooperate closely to make sure both SoC projects succeed (as in: code applied to CVS at the end). -- Marco _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
