I'd like to run it as a normal user as well, but I don't think it's possible. In the rebootin script there is a variable $bootloader with a reference to another script, detectloader. In detectloader is a line that reads "The detectloader must be run as root to work properly." Maybe someone else can suggest a solution? Björn
