Originally I thought of a path relocator32->relocator users->mm relocator32 is ready for next round of review but is untested. Now I think about it mm patch isn't actually dependent on relocator32, just you won't get some features (as loading big initrds and removal of os_area_size/os_area_addr fields) before relocator32 is used by all loaders. I will adjust mm patch to this and add .(text|data|bss)-lowmem section support. > =A0- Authentication support (even if it only supports passwords initially= ). > =A0- Gettext. > =A0- Integrated "hiddenmenu" functionality. > =A0- Other cleanups, like Vladimir's video split. > What about savedefault?
