# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE: # The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description. # Line up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and # the '|' on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in. # You must make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct. It's also # customary to leave one space after the ':' except on otherwise blank lines. |-----handy-ruler------------------------------------------------------| mbootpack: mbootpack (Multiboot kernel and modules) mbootpack: mbootpack: This is a tool that takes a multiboot kernel and modules (e.g. a Xen mbootpack: VMM, linux kernel and initrd), and packages them up as a single file mbootpack: that looks like a bzImage linux kernel. The aim is to allow you to mbootpack: boot multiboot kernels (in particular, Xen) using bootloaders that mbootpack: don't support multiboot (i.e. pretty much anything except GRUB and mbootpack: SYSLINUX). This is, as you might expect, pretty grim stuff, involving mbootpack: lots of lovely 16-bit real-mode code. mbootpack: mbootpack: Homepage: http://www.tjd.phlegethon.org/software/
