Plop Boot Manager 5.0.13 released
New tool: plpbt4win
Boot manager updates:
80386 bugfix: The boot manager didn't start on the good old 80386 processor. Its fixed now.
plpbt.bin HDA partition 2 boot bugfix: This was a strange bug. On the most PC's it was not reproduceable. On one reported PC it freezes the computer. On a few other PC's it removes the partition entry in the MBR. I was never able to reproduce the bug, however, its fixed now.
plpbt.bin does no longer show extended partitions.
A new feature has been added. When you press the "q" key in the main menu, then you can start the MBR code of the first internal hard disk with the first option.
Boot manager installer updated:
The installer shows now the size and when possible the type of the destination drive. When an usb drive is detected as destination drive, then an info blinks red to warn the user. This should avoid the installation to the wrong drive when booting from usb. In the menu to select the destination drive, you will also see the size and type info of all detected drives.
The look of the interface has been changed. Some people will hate it, but I love it :)
plpbt4win 0.1 released:
A new powerful tool for windows users. It can be used in batch mode or with the builtin command line. It comes with 2 batch files. Windows people only have to start the batch file to add the boot manager to the windows boot menu. plpbt4win works with boot.ini and bcdedit. It makes it also easy to remove the boot manager entry from the windows boot menu. plpbt4win is a full replacement of plpgenbtldr. Fragmented bin files are no longer a problem. The loader has been rewritten to support fragmented bin files. contig is no longer needed. Read more in the documentation.
plpbtrom 0.6 released:
New parameter added: Some bios need a fixed rom size. You can set a required size of the rom with the -size parameter. For example -size 64k or -size 128k and so on.
plpcfgbtGUI 0.3 released:
Fixed typo.
Zip reorganized:
Linux and Windows executables are now in separate directories. All Linux and Windows related tools are in the zip file.
Some parts of the documentation are not updated, but all necessary infos are available.
Maybe 5.0.14 comes soon. There are still a few things that have to be done for the 5.0.x series. |
