Has anyone tried BURG?

Any info / comments? I'm thinking of giving it a try when i find time, but not sure if it's a good idea

Hi Slax .....  did you get a chance to try this?

Hah! Grub spelt backwards... Screenshots were appetizing. Give it a go, slax and we can test it.

Will try it on my laptop in a few days and will let you guys know how it went

I finally had the time to check it out.
It compiled and installed correctly, but i don't know how to select it? there's still grub showing.

any ideas?

None      I was hoping you would come up with all that info 

[slax]

Will research more i think if it compiles ok, it should be fairly simple to activate it and use it :/

And how is this app getting on, slax?

[slax]

Sorry no progress yet. Unfortunately, i'm very busy at work, and also have to work on gnome release :/

I had the opportunity to install Chakra on my netbook recently. They use BURG. I suppose the name change has not been pervasive.
Because for me too on reboot, it reported Grub.
So you might have actually had BURG but you were led to think it was GRUB?!
-SS.

NOTE: I am sure about that because previously the netbook used to boot using Windows loader. So whatever change is there, it has to be BURG.

Was the menu selection anything like the screenshots posted on burG project site? Those were sweet.

I have never been to their site. So do not know.
But the appearance on my netbook screen was too pixellated. I much prefer our boot.
-SS.

OK ... I'll link to them from here:

They were far removed from what experienced with the Chakra BURG.
I have to tell you one thing though, that the Chakra I tried was a testing release from sometime back, so do not know if they have worked on the boot choice screen later on.
The one I saw was a standard black background with multicolored icons next to the OS names but badly pixellated/blurry.
