I can not contact any of the authors of Grub4dos, although we are in the same country :-(. About the ARP bug, I think I have got the problem, but I need more check ;-)

Hello, As suggested by Okuji, here is my post in the forum: First of all, I would like to thank all the contributors of Grub for their great work and for making this new release available. Good Job !!! But I was really hoping to see some patches as part of the Grub-0.95 release. The code divergence of these patches from the original release make them now incompatible with each other and the merge looks like very painful. Each one of them bring a lot of new great features that I really would like to have integrated within a single grub release. Here is some of the patches I am talking about: 1) The Network patch by Hans-Peter Jansen and Feng Shuo: "https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=9408" which adds an updated set of drivers to the Grub network boot capability. Most of the new network adapters (like gigabit) are part of this patch. Known bug: ARP or unsolicited UDP traffic stops the GRUB TFTP download: "https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=9245" It should be fixed soon by Feng Shuo. 2) Grub4dos and Grub4all which allow to boot grub from DOS (grub.exe) and from the NT/XP boot loader (boot.ini+grldrstart+grldr) respectively. Grub4Dos is done by "Tinybit" from China and also integrates some very nice floppy/disk image mapping and emulation boot features (instead of the memdisk kernel) and you can get it from here: "<http://newdos.yginfo.net/grubdos.htm>http://newdos.yginfo.net/grubdos.htm" Grub4all is done by "Gandalf" and adds the fsys_ntfs.c to Grub4dos for the NT support: "https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=9180" What would be best way to get a new release including all these great features ? Any suggestion ? Thanks, Gilles _______________________________________________ Bug-grub mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-grub
