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?
