boottool Description
boottool and Linux::Bootloader provide a generic interface for detecting the installed bootloader. boottool and Linux::Bootloader provide a generic interface for detecting the installed bootloader, updating bootloader configuration files, and performing boot-once to a given kernel.Supported bootloaders include grub, yaboot, lilo and elilo.There are essentially four major pieces in this package. First is Linux::Bootloader itself its subclasses for Grub, Lilo, et al. These provide functionality for modifying the bootloader config files and interacting with the bootloaders. Second is Linux::Bootloader::Detect, which is conceptually distinct in that it simply analyzes the system to see what bootloader is in use, etc.Third is boottool, a script that taps both of these modules to provide a command line utility for modifying bootloaders in a general purpose way. Fourth are an assortment of other little helper scripts for doing related things, such as installing kernel files, determining kernel versions, and so forth.Requirements:· PerlWhat's New in This Release:· The boot-once support for eLilo and grub was improved.· A few corner-case bugs were fixed and the code was cleaned up.
