    I don't feel like publishing it like a real boot manager: it
isn't. It's just a linux boot loader, and it's requirements are quite
special, even in the disk layout. The assembly code has two or three
pages of documentation, most of it a warning. If you want, I can put
the code here (code+doc, gzipped, are just 5KiB), otherwise you will
need to wait for me to release the code (a month or two, when I'm
able to release all my free software projects) ;)

    I don't want people trying to use such a dangerous item ;)) I'm
working on a boot manager inspired by GRUB, but quite small,
supporting only Linux on ext2. That one may be of more interest, if I
finish it, of course O:)))

    BTW, did you receive my private email about my mirror contents,
snail mail address, etc...? The most important part was that I asked
by a md5sum (or similar) of the RULE iso image, just to make sure
that my downloaded copy is correct.
