For the umteentht time: STOP the stupid cross posting and make up your mind as to where to discuss this.
You tell me where it belongs. It's about Suse 12.2 and suse 12.3 and beyond. Last person I asked which list I should shut out of the discussion, I got no answer, so what's your answer.
Windows doesn't need extra disks / drivers to be pre-loaded unless you are booting from a rescue disk/installation disk.
You have followed the links to the Wikipedia articles describing the boot mechanisms in various Windows versions that David posted yesterday?
==== Why should I? I've read the Windows system internal's book written by a Windows "Fellow", that describes the process in considerably more detail in chapter 13. Maybe you should read the book 'Windows System Internals (5th ed). It tells you why -- boot sector loads a basic device aware booter like lilo, that can then boot images off of any of windows devices... None of them require an initrd. Any other questions? I had stopped cross posting the past several posts, but you seemed to be a case-in-point of not getting the fact that if it was NEVER appropriate to cross post, it could be blocked for everyone at the list-reflector. If it is the case that it is appropriate at times -- then what about a cross-topic subject like this isn't appropriate - what would be an example of something that would be if this isn't? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
