 {{{
 The issue of booting XP just will not go away.

 So, there are two options I see, in order of preference:
 1. find some way, using kexec etc., to boot XP under Linux, then put Linux
 in FLASH; done
 2. revive ADLO

 there have been a number of suggestions for how to do the first one.
 1. freeldr (vapor?)
 2. tinyldr (vapor?)

 any non-vaporous ones out there? This note is an attempt to start a
 discussion and discovery on this subject.
