You probably haven't noticed then that _anywhere_ a config.sys menu is used, the singlestepping thing is present. I don't think it is so important that the kernel should have to be modified solely for the CD-ROM boot diskette image. On 8/19/06, Markus Laire <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On 8/19/06

That's impossible. Singlestepping is a feature of the config.sys menu implemented into the kernel. It is hardcoded. On 8/19/06, Markus Laire <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On 8/19/06, Blair Campbell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Singlestepping is not something that most people will be doing when

I did a quick install in qemu and noticed only one problem: The first menu you get after booting from CD shows only 2 options, but allows you to select from 5 options. What are those 3 "hidden" options? Also, if Singlestepping is going to be buggy, perhaps that should be mentioned in this menu.
