I am told that the sources for FreeLdr are all okay, except for the some of the bootsectors having been pretty much just disassembled from MS's. Is this true? If so, will someone please copy them over before I die of impatiance? Its not like we need those bootsectors, anyway. I mean, a lot of us on IRC have agreed that using GRUB to load FreeLdr is probably our best bet for now, until someone gets around to customizing boot code from GRUB or FreeDOS. Anyway, we don't need to worry about that until the installation CD boots ;-).

crashfourit has posted a patch here: http://www.reactos.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1311
Unfortunately it looks like the string and rtl libs need auditing, and we'll also need ntoskrnl stubbed out with just the headers...
