Extended Operating System Loader description
Boot manager with a real, easy-to-use and full-blown graphical user interface

Extended Operating System Loader (XOSL) is the world's only full-featured free boot manager with a real, easy-to-use and full-blown graphical user interface.

Extended Operating System Loader allows you to boot operating systems from single or from multiple disk partitions. For every bootable system, you can configure which other partitions should be hidden. For every bootable system, as well as for the configuration screens, you can also enables password protection.

XOSL can be installed on a running DOS, Win9x or WinME system or on a small dedicated partition. It also includes a free partition manager.

· Linux (with Lilo)
· Solaris
· VxWorks 5.x
· Windows 95/98/Me
· Windows NT/2000


Requirements:

Minimal system requirements:
· 80386 or better with 4Mb of RAM (6Mb for 1280x1024/1600x1200)
· VESA VBE 1.2 compliant display controller
· 300kb of free disk space

Recommended:
· Pentium 100 or better

What's New in This Release:

· Data saving problem solved. For some systems (with a ABIT BE6 motherboard) all saved changes would be lost again after reboot.
· Invalid boot items, which are valid again are now automatically enabled. A boot item is invalid when, for instance, its partition is on a detached removable disk.
· Because drive swapping won't work for Windows 9x/Me, it is not checked by default anymore for partitions on the second, third, etc. hard disk.
· Enhancement: Integrated Smart Boot Manager to support IDE CD-ROM booting.... [ read full changelog ]
