Linux
[edit]Would be cool to mention linux, because "it somewhat resembles to boot a Multiboot-compliant OS" according to the grub manual: http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html#GNU_002fLinux 82.130.71.160 (talk) 12:31, 4 December 2012 (UTC)
- the article states now that it is multiboot-compliant, but if it only resembles then I think we need to correct the article. --Putputi (talk) 17:37, 4 June 2017 (UTC)
- I've corrected it by removing it - linux doesn't follow the multibopot specification and the source that is referenced does not list it, either. 85.216.90.59 (talk) 11:57, 27 August 2017 (UTC)
- PS: the grub manual doesn't say the linux kernel resembles a multiboot compliant OS, either, it says the way to boot it with grub resembles booting a multiboot kernel. 85.216.90.59 (talk) 11:59, 27 August 2017 (UTC)
Multibootloader
[edit]Is there any multibootloader specification?.--Lagoset (talk) 08:41, 25 April 2015 (UTC)
- Well, the Multiboot Specification v0.6.96 contains all that's required for creating a compliant boot loader. Is that what you've asked about? — Dsimic (talk | contribs) 12:22, 19 May 2015 (UTC)
