I'd like to get opinions on what people think about creating a sys-boot |
| 2 |
category for the various bootloaders. A majority (if not all of them) |
| 3 |
can be found in sys-apps currently. |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
At the moment, I can identify 10 different packages for bootloaders for |
| 6 |
the various architectures: |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
sys-apps/aboot (Alpha w/ SRM) |
| 9 |
sys-apps/dvhtool (Mips) |
| 10 |
sys-apps/grub (x86) |
| 11 |
sys-apps/grub-static (x86) |
| 12 |
sys-apps/lilo (x86) |
| 13 |
sys-apps/milo (Alpha w/o SRM) |
| 14 |
sys-apps/palo (Hppa/Parisc) |
| 15 |
sys-apps/silo (Sparc) |
| 16 |
sys-apps/syslinux (CD-ROM) |
| 17 |
sys-apps/yaboot (PPC) |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
There are some other bootloaders not in portage yet that could join this |
| 20 |
group. A couple I know off the top of my head are arcboot (Mips), nuni |
| 21 |
(x86), and u-boot (universal). |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Anyone else knows of some bootloaders not in portage that'd fit into a |
| 24 |
category like this, chime in as well. |
