:-) about the allocate more disk for thread. EFI is pretty cool - there's an SDK that lets you write stuff that runs in it. No need to boot the entire machine. Pretty groovy if you want to make an almost instant on DVD player for example. You can also *kinda* call stuff from the OS down in EFI. One problem is that if you don't return from EFI land quick enough the OS will go bananas. --Tarp |
