modpart
This is a simple utility I wrote. You can use it to modify partition
table active flag and partition types.
Usage:
- modpart file
- modpart -s file
- Print partition types/active flags.
- modpart -p
- Print know partition types.
- modpart -a nr file
- Set partition <nr> active flag.
- modpart -i nr file
- Reset partition <nr> active flag.
- modpart -t type nr file
- Set partition <nr> type to <type>.
- NOTE: although you can set multiple partitions active only
one should be set.
PLEASE DON'T USE MODPART TO MODIFY PARTITION TABLES ON
HARDDISKS. ONLY ONES ON DUMPED BOOTSECTORS.
showscreen
This is a simple program written by Bernhard Ehlers <behlers@t-online.de>. You can use it to display your Choose-OS bootup
screen or any screendump file on a terminal.
It has two arguments. First one is the background file and second
(optional) the map file.
The '-view' option was based on this utility.
Usage:
- showscreen /boot/chos.background [/boot/chos.map]
- showscreen any_screendump_file
xshowscreen
This is a simple script that runs showscreen in color_xterm with vga font.
