just awesome
« on: August 17, 2009, 11:29:08 AM »
i tried out various bootmanager, but none gave me this superiority feeling ... till now :D

some statments you may want too add to the FAQ or manual, so users understand better what they are getting into:
- PLoP is not a good choice for beginners. (hex editing the partition table is too much for most users)
- PLoP (loader+program+config) installs in the whole first cylinder of your primary hard disk. (by standard most partitioners skip the first cylinder)

hi,
thanks :)

- PLoP is not a good choice for beginners. (hex editing the partition table is too much for most users)

yes, hex editing the partition is only for advanced users. but i think this part is rarely used.
i think boot managers at all are not good for beginners.

by standard most partitioners skip the first cylinder

yes, but those boot managers will not work if their partition is removed.
but you are right, i should leave a hint about the first cylinder installation. the "no extra partition needed" is maybe not enough.
