Some people missinterpret it as "the kernel of Linux", leading to the long-standing confusion you probably heard about (but I'll paste a link anyway, for the sake of everyone else ;-)): http://www.gnu.org/gnu/linux-and-gnu.html But I agree it should be capitalized. Please make that "Load Linux.". > cmd_kernel = grub_register_command ("xnu_kernel", grub_cmd_xnu_kernel, 0, > - "Load a xnu kernel."); > + "Load a XNU kernel."); > cmd_kernel64 = grub_register_command ("xnu_kernel64", grub_cmd_xnu_kernel64, > - 0, "Load a 64-bit xnu kernel."); > + 0, "Load a 64-bit XNU kernel."); For consistency, these could read "Load XNU.". If that's too confusing, maybe "Load XNU (kernel of Darwin)" or something like that. Vladimir what do you think? -- Robert Millan "Be the change you want to see in the world" -- Gandhi
