- | Customizing the Linux boot process

- | What you need:
- | * A DOS disk editor (Norton DE, NU, PCTOOLS, etc.)
- | * A Linux Boot Image (preferably 0.96)
- | * A master boot record ... just kidding :) :)
- | All the work is done in DOS.

- I thank you for the useful info, but... DOS? To quote my youngest,
- "Yuckie-poo!" I am going home tonight and try a quick port of bpe to
- linux. If it works I'll upload it tomorrow. People sholdn't have to go
- into DOS to do things like this, it corrodes the bits!
-
- It's my binary editor of choice, hopefully it will port easily.
