= Welcome to AiR-BOOT = AiR-BOOT is a '''boot-manager''' that is small and yet contains a load of interesting features.[[BR]] It was developed by Martin Kiewitz and the first versions appeared around 2002. With the introduction of newer Windows versions (Vista/7), that use their own ~100MB boot-partition,[[BR]] problems occured when using IBM Boot Manager, the default boot-manager supplied with eComStation.[[BR]] Also the introduction of huge harddisks (>502GiB) caused incompatibility issues. While the v1.06 version of AiR-BOOT could almost be used as a replacement for the aging IBM-BM,[[BR]] a couple of things needed to be fixed. This was done upon the v1.06 code-base resulting in v1.07.[[BR]] With the release of eComStation v2.1, AiR-BOOT replaces IBM Boot Manager. AiR-BOOT is in active development to enhance it's functionality and user experience.[[BR]] It's goal is to have all operating-systems, great-and-small, peacefully live together on your disks. == Downloads == Last version by the hand of Martin Kiewitz:[[BR]] [http://sourceforge.net/projects/air-boot/files/AiR-BOOT/v1.06/ Air-Boot 1.06 (2009/06/08)][[BR]] [[BR]] Use right-click->download in your browser for the links below:[[BR]] [[BR]] Version v1.07 as released with eComStation 2.1 in May 2011:[[BR]] [http://www.bensbits.nl/downloads/AiR-BOOT-1.07-final.zip AiR-BOOT v1.07 final][[BR]][[BR]] Version v1.0.8 release candidates:[[BR]] [http://www.bensbits.nl/downloads/AiR-BOOT-v1.0.8-rc3-bld20120909.zip AiR-BOOT v1.0.8 RC3][[BR]] [[BR]] '''Please keep in mind that RC versions are not final releases so take the necessary precautions before using them.'''[[BR]] (Like making a backup of your MBR)[[BR]] == License == Air-boot is open source software under the GNU GPL V2.1 license. == Original Author == * Martin Kiewitz == Links == [http://svn.netlabs.org/air-boot]
