Line 1: {{~~Convert~~Stub}} '''BootProg''' is a boot loader written by Alexey Frunze. BootProg is able to load [[COM]]/[[MZ]] programs from a FAT12/16/32-formatted media (e.g. floppy, hard disk, USB stick, CD in floppy emulation mode). It is written in NASM and may be an interesting alternative for those who find [[GRUB]] ~~oversized~~too bloated for their needs, ~~and~~or have a working environment where FAT/EXE is more comfortable than EXT2/ELF.▼ ==See Also== ~~'''BootProg''' is a boot sector that loads and runs COM/EXE programs, written by Alexei Frounze~~ * [https://github.com/alexfru/BootProg BootProg Project] [[Category:Bootloaders]] Much like [[GRUB]], BootProg aims at being a generic bootloader, running existing file format (where most custom bootloaders involve custom binary formats) and existing partition format (FAT12/FAT16). It is tested on both floppy and hard drive. ▲BootProg is written in NASM and may be an interesting alternative for those who find GRUB oversized for their needs and have a working environment where FAT/EXE is more comfortable than EXT2/ELF.
