Description Erinn Looney-Triggs 2005-01-03 13:30:19 UTC
A new version of sys-apps/BIOSdisk 0.65 is available. 

Copy of the changelog:
* Added support to build Debian (.deb) BIOS packages -- nicely written and contributed by Johannes Jordens
 
* Support added to build BIOS RPMs for any RPM-based distro (SUSE, Mandrake, etc.), not just Red Hat/Fedora
 
* Added new action: "install". `biosdisk install <filename.[exe|img]>` will now copy the file to /boot and update the bootloader configuration file. Currently only supports GRUB
 
* Added new action: "uninstall". `biosdisk uninstall /boot/<filename>.img` will now delete the biosdisk image from the /boot directory and remove the corresponding entry from the bootloader configuration file. Currently only supports GRUB
 
* Added support for passing the BIOS .exe|.img file path to biosd
