Description Martin Böcher 2010-02-22 13:05:36 UTC
infos from guijn site:
Gujin is a PC boot loader which can analyze your partitions and filesystems.
It finds the Linux kernel images available, as well as other bootable partitions (for *BSD, MS-DOS, Windows, etc.), files (*.kgz) and bootable disk images (*.bdi), and displays a graphical menu for selecting which system to boot.
Gujin boots Linux kernel using the documented interface, like LILO and GRUB, so it doesn't need any other pre-installed bootloader. It can also directly load gzip'ed ELF32 or ELF64 files, with a simple interface to collect real-mode BIOS data. There is no need to execute anything after making a new kernel: just copy the kernel image file into the "/boot" directory, with a standard name.
Gujin is written almost entirely in C with GCC, and it fully executes in real mode to be as compatible as possible.
