style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">I have a customer building a custom
PC based board. I have been presenting LinuxBIOS as a viable BIOS option;
however, they have a serious interest in running Windows, likely 2K & XP, on
this board. Does anybody have experience in this area to share? I’m currently
trying to get a grasp of the effort required beyond the LinuxBIOS port itself.
Also, what kind of reliability are you getting with your
implementation?<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
