Hallo Steven,

Tuurlijk niet.
SL> wat is er zo speciaal goed aan?
Een beetje kopie- en plakwerk vanuit de nuni README file geeft hetvolgende :
# nuni is a boot loader for Linux, using ext2 file system and IDE drives.
# The reason for this particular loader is to avoid bios limitations by not
# using the bios. For example, there is no 1024 cylinder problem
# because the concept of cyliders is not used. There is also no problem
# with a difference in geometry between the bios and linux because the
# concept of geometry is not used. We can boot from any place on the drive,
# up to 137gb. Also any drive up to hdk (or higher) can be used.
# nunimbr is a small multi-boot selector for use in the mbr. Like nuni, it
# does not use the bios, so any partition of any IDE drive can be selected.
# This . It will execute a loader that resides in the boot sector of any
# partition. Selection is by name of partition. You answer with names like
# hda1 or hde11, and it executes whatever loader resides there. It is self
# contained, so it could be carried to other computers on a floppy and boot
# those machines with no setup or installation. Since it occupies only one
# sector, there is no problem if linux is removed; it will continue to boot
# windows normally without the familiar 'LI' problem.
SL> staat die op een site of ergens onder een rpm?
