May I ask if you are refering to the Gujin structures under the ROOT_EXTENSIVE_SEARCH compilation switch, or the C structures describing the BIOS which could even be used in the kernel? Eric W.

So without ROOT_EXTENSIVE_SEARCH defined. It is so usefull when you have loads of distributions... But yes, maybe that part should be in another file, maybe not a complete directory for a single file. There is also a special problem with ia32, the number of processor involved and their partial compatibilities, that Gujin try to help with. > So there may be some good ideas buried in there somewhere, but it > likely to take some doing, and patches that I have to save before > I read them are a real pain! Last time I used this web interface it did not encode text files... > Eric Thanks, Etienne. ___________________________________________________________________________ Découvrez une nouvelle façon d'obtenir des réponses à toutes vos questions !
