[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Linux::Bootloader provides a generic interface for detecting the
installed bootloader, updating bootloader config files and for
performing boot-once to a given kernel.  Supported bootloaders include
grub, lilo, yaboot, and elilo.

Release 1.1 incorporates fixes for several issues discovered
by users.  Thanks to Jason, Judith, and Kees for their fixes and testing
of it.
