<b>Choose-OS</b> is a fully configurable boot loader for Linux/PC.<br>
It is a program which, when you boot your computer, allows you to
select the operating system to boot.<br> Yes, it does the same stuff
that LILO or OS/2 boot manager do.
<b>Choose-OS</b> has, though, some nice features not found in many or none other
programs of this kind.
<p>
<ul>
<li>Look 'n Coolness:
<ul>
<li>You can choose the colors used for each image separately.
<li>You can position the menu and timer or even each image separately on screen.
<li>Hotkey can be specified for each image.
<li>And finally, you can have a background image (plain ascii text or screendump format) !
</ul>
<li>Other stuff:<ul>
<li>Emergency bootsector - If there's been a failure loading Choose-OS mapfile or 2nd stage loader,
an emergency bootsector will be tried to load, if one specified.
<li>An easy-to-use configuration program for X, <a href="vchos.html">Visual Chos</a>.
<li>MBR rewrite, hda/hdb and fd0/fd1 swapping, etc.<br>
<li>"Single-shot autoboot" makes it possible to directly boot another OS from linux using <a href="../../rebooter-0.2/docs/index.html" target=_parent>rebooter</a>, for example.
<li><a href="config.html#dosmenukey">dosmenukey</a> -option makes it possible to choose dos multiconfig menu options from choose-os.
</ul>
</ul>
