Wow, wonderful job to all at LInuxTag! Thanks to you all!
I just ran the bayou demo and it is really impressive. I wonder if there is anything else like it? It's really neat.
Thanks. There is still much to be done, but I think this is a pretty good start.. :) To that end, let me solicit the help of the community to think about the next step.
As a group we have identified two main behaviors for the chooser:
* An interactive menu * Chaining (running one payload after another in the fashion of a traditional BIOS)
But when you look closer, the number of possible modes explodes. As an example:
- You may want to add a timeout to the menu, so that if somebody doesn't press the hotkey, a default payload is chosen. - When chaining, some payloads will be opt in (press F1 for setup), some will be opt out (press F2 to skip), and others will always run - Uwe expressed a desire to select a chain from the menu
Everything is further complicated by the fact that we can add a new payload to the LAR at any time, which makes it very difficult to specific the configuration at bayou compile time.
So, this is a very long and complex way of saying that we need a simple yet clever way to configure bayou that takes into account all of the above. Any ideas?
