Delivered-To: submit@bugs.debian.org
Package: wnpp
Version: 4.01
Severity: wishlist
GAG version: 4.01
GAG (initials, in spanish, of Graphical Boot Manager) is a Boot
Manager program. It's loaded when the computer is turned on and allows
you to choose the operating system you want to use.
Very intuitive and graphic bootloader (GPL). 4TB capable.
Source: http://www.rastersoft.com/gageng.htm
(X86 Assembly)
Possible alternative boot image to mbr currently installed by
install-mbr when lilo is not installed as MBR.
Short-commings: No configuration from Linux at this moment. Now "dd"
floppy-image to the floppy and install from flioppy. But should be easy
tio support with few shell scripts.
--- Details ---
Its main features are:
* Allows boot of up to 9 different operating systems.
* It can boot operating systems installed in primary and extended
partitions on any available hard disk.
* Can be installed from nearly all operating systems.
* GAG doesn't need its own partition. It installs itself in the
first track of the hard disk, wich is reserved for these kinds of
programs. It can also be instaled on a floppy disk, without using
the hard disk.
* It has a timer to boot a default operating system (selectable by
the user).
* The configuration menu can be protected with a password.
* The program works in graphic mode (needs a VGA or better graphic
card), and has a lot of icons.
* Hides the primary partitions which allows the user to have
instaled more than one DOS and/or Windows in the same hard disk.
* Allows a password to be put on each operating system, denying
access to non-authorized people.
* Allows the boot manager text to be translated to all languages.
* Can exchange disk drives, allowing to boot from the second,
third... hard disk operating systems such as MS-DOS.
* Has the SafeBoot system, that allows to boot your hard disk even
if GAG is accidentally overwrited.
* Supports a great variety of keyboards (QWERTY, AZERTY and QWERTZ
keyboards).
* Fully support for hard disks up to 4 terabytes (4096 gigabytes).
* Full version and free software (distributed under GPL licence,
with source code)

Hello,
This is an automatic mail sent to close the RFP you have reported or
are involved with.
Your RFP wnpp bug is being closed because of the following reasons:
- It is, as of today, older than 600 days.
- It haven't had any activity recently.
- The amount of ITPs on the Debian BTS is huge and we need to
clean up a bit the place.
As this an automatic procedure, it could of course have something
wrong and probably it would be closing some bugs that are not
intended by owners and submitters (like you) to be closed, for
example if the RFP is still of your interest, or there has been
some kind of activity around it. In that case, please reopen the
bug, do it, DO IT NOW! (I don't want to be blamed because of
mass closing and not let people know that they can easily reopen
their bugs ;-).
To re-open it, you simply have to mail control@bugs.debian.org
with a body text like this:
reopen 123456
thanks bts
Replacing '123456' for the number of your RFP bug. The subject of the
mail is ignored. Or if you have any kind of problems when dealing with
the BTS, feel free to contact me and I'd be more than happy to help
you on this: <damog@debian.org>.
This is the first mass wnpp closing that will be done. The next close
will be done on inactive RFPs older than 450 days and finally, the
ones older than 365 days (an automatic script will close *inactive*
RFPs when they reach one year old).
A similar process is being applied to the ITP wnpp bugs in these
days.
Thanks for your cooperation,
-- David Moreno Garza <damog@debian.org> Wed, 14 Sep 2005 21:54:42 -0500
