Author: Edward Bartolo Date: To: dng Subject: [DNG] What does Devuan expect from a boot-loader?
Hi,
Like most people on this mailing list I am shocked to notice the
increasing bloat that is going into boot-loaders like grub*.
Boot-loaders are becoming like a stripped down operating system
instead of just containing the minimal necessary functionality to
understand disk and partition formatting. Does Devuan support this
trend? Does it plan to write or fork its own boot-loader? As far as I
am concerned, as long as a boot-loader can read GPT and MSDOS disks
plus extN partitions, that should be enough.
