Bug#227780: O: loadlin -- a loader (running under DOS) for LINUX kernel images



Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

The current maintainer of loadlin, Martin Mitchell <martin@debian.org>,
is apparently not active anymore.  Therefore, I orphan this package
now.  If you want to be the new maintainer, please take it -- see
http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/index.html#howto-o for detailed
instructions how to adopt a package properly.

Description: a loader (running under DOS) for LINUX kernel images
 LOADLIN-1.6 is highly adaptable to different DOS configurations, and now
 has very few loading restrictions. It makes use of extended memory and
 also can load big kernels (bzImages) and ramdisk images (initrd)
 directly high.
 .
 LOADLIN also can load out of Virtual-86 mode (which is normal when
 using EMS drivers) if a VCPI server is present.
 .
 The loadlin package also includes the freeramdisk program, which can
 return memory to the system when a ramdisk is no longer needed.

Justification: Countless NMUs, packages really old
