XOSL, an alternative to Lilo and Grub 328

Posted by CmdrTaco on Friday October 26, 2001 @03:43PM from the booting-in-style dept.

WhyPanic writes "XOSL, the Extended Operating System Loader, is a free (as in beer and as in GPL), full featured, graphical boot loader that can work in conjunction with Lilo or separately to boot all varieties of Windows, Linux, and many other OS's." Nifty looking.

Why is Windows the only operating system that comes without any type of multiple boot loaded. All the other seem to have one. Install 95/98/ME and it just sets its self as the only os , and thats the end of that.

According to the page...
XOSL is known to support
- BeOS
- MS-DOS
- FreeDOS
- Linux (with Lilo)
- Solaris
- VxWorks 5.x
- Windows 95/98/Me
- Windows NT/2000
- ...and others...
I read that as meaning it just boots up lilo, it still needs it to run Linux. Presumably, you'd install lilo on the partition, instead of the MBR.
