[RULE] Raul's (and others) boot managers

    Ok, then. I've decided to send you (private email, so I don't
clutter the list) the current version of the linux MBR bootloader,
namely 1.0.3. You can publish in RULE page if you warn it about being
dangerous. It's not alpha and it should work fine, but installation
is difficult and dangerous. Not for newbies...

    I don't know when I'm going to release it, so I think is better
people can take a look at the sources, since it works for me and the
systems where I've installed it, but I don't know if it really works
in general. Thanks a lot for releasing it in RULE page :)

    I haven't found them :??? I find the sums for the .img files, but
not for the .iso files. In fact, although there is a slinky-0.3.97,
the ISO image is for slinky-0.3.6... Forget it, I've found that the
link on the page is obsolete, but going to savannah directly, the iso
image for 0.3.96 (latest stable, maybe?) is there, and the SUMS too
;))

    Could you modify the page so the link is updated (currently it
points to version 0.3.6), or make it point to the directory
containing all images (the savannah address, just like in the last
paragraph)? I mean the page for en/sw/iso.php

    Well, I now have in my mirror RULE 0.3.6, but I'm downloading
version 0.3.96.

    Happy weekend ;))
