Salutations,
I've given Porteus v1.2 some good try on a legacy P3-733 MHz (512 MB RAM) lately so it became necessary for me to deal with a few details including the boot-loader thing... Doing so i discovered a new tool created by the same author as that of PLoP: 'plopkexec' allowed me to boot using an external USB-DVD drive while the BIOS doesn't even support any flash-card compatible booting mode at all. To me this appears to cover the very last spot in such domain, in addition the next months to come will most likely bring more interresting developments as this particularily fine tool starts to reach maturity. Some of us may appreciate the additional functionality, i sure do so i figured i'd mention it just in case.
