[Grub4dos-devel] cs89x0.c driver

[Sascha Sommer]

Hi,

the file netboot/cs98x0.txt contains folowing statement:

"Permission is granted to distribute the enclosed cs89x0.[ch] driver
only in conjunction with the Etherboot package. The code is
ordinarily distributed under the GPL.

Russ Nelson, January 2000"

So it looks like these files cannot be distributed with grub4dos.
As the Makefile in the netboot dir contains following statements "# Don't
build the netboot support by default." I wonder if the cs89x0 driver cannot
be removed from the grub4dos distribution.

Regards

Sascha

Hi,

Thank you very much for your notice. The files from netboot directory
comes directly from GNU GRUB, we don't modify it at all. I think you
can refer your question to the GRUB Legacy mail list
<bug-...@gnu.org>, which can be subscribe at

http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-grub

If they decide to remove the file, we will do the same.
