Bug Description

The files boot.S and diskboot.S are in source code. (Check http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~n-muench/burg/burg2/files/head:/boot/i386/pc/)
You can download source code in http://code.google.com/p/burg/downloads/detail?name=burg-bzr-1832.zip

While the "GRUB Loading" message is still in affect, the following fix no longer works. The /boot/i386/ directory no longer exists.

Hello, could change 4 lines, compile and update the application to not display the message "GRUB loading." when you start the computer.

"./boot/i386/pc/boot.S" line 382:
OLD -> notification_string: .asciz "GRUB "
NEW -> notification_string: .asciz ""

"./boot/i386/pc/diskboot.S" line 323:
OLD -> notification_string: .asciz "loading"
NEW -> notification_string: .asciz ""

"./boot/i386/pc/diskboot.S" line 325:
OLD -> notification_step: .asciz "."
NEW -> notification_step: .asciz ""

"./boot/i386/pc/diskboot.S" line 326:
OLD -> notification_done: .asciz "\r\n"
NEW -> notification_done: .asciz ""

Thanks. (Sorry my English-Google)

I think too that the message "burg loading" is not aesthetically pleasing and feels like a debug notice.

Could you hide it by default or provide a setting to do so?

Hello Carlos,

I'm interested in your patched version of burg.
Do you have the binaries for the i386 32 bits compiled somewhere ?

I would like to get rid of that darn message, but I'm a bit afraid of compiling burg (and I have no idea how to package it and install on other computers).
Do you have a walkthrough on how to compile and package burg?

Do ./configure && make produce a deb file that I could use to install a patched version burg on many computers?

This bug's description clearly began stating that the latter bug report's fix is *not* working.
