If you own a CATS board please visit http://www.simtec.co.uk/products/EB110ATX/resources.html and read the Product Change Notification. Recently there has been some discussion about ABLE our next generation boot loader. I would just like to make clear that there is *no* GPL code in ABLE and only minimal BSD code (headers for the ffs filesystem). ABLE is an underived original work not based on any other code base. Sorry to have to stress that but otherwise someone might get the wrong idea. It has been mentioned ABLE is more "Linux" in its approach. I hope this isn't the general perception! ABLE is intended to be its own interface, it is a boot loader not an OS after all. Perhaps this idea has come about because of the naming of partition aliases? they are just names, usually the (hd0) aliases would be used. If a (wd0a) type set of names would be useful please let me know and I will look at including that naming scheme in addition. I would encourage all users to upgrade to ABLE 1.95 to gain access to the new features it offers, it is also being actively maintained unlike cyclone which is beginning to show its age. Please don't hesitate to create a support incident for any features you would like to see in ABLE (please use the incident submission button at the bottom of the resources page) or simply reply to the list, I am subscribed. -- Vincent Sanders http://www.simtec.co.uk
