I think some parts could be split and applied separately. I don't think there are any objections against supporting nested partitions. But I think it would be better to support letters for BSD partitions if it's not too hard. > It changes sufficiently a > lot to need a peer review and I need for clear network naming support > (I plan to use a syntax like (ftp,192.168.1.1,21,user,pass)/grub.cfg ) I think the networking is better split from GRUB as a separate project under GPLv2. It would be a huge effort to reimplement networking under GPLv3. And I don't see it as a priority. The priority should be supplanting GRUB1, yaboot and other bootloaders currently in use. > @Pavel: thank you very much for being so active and pushing project > forward.Keep up with the good work Thanks! -- Regards, Pavel Roskin
