I also really like bootman. Can you see where the name came from?
BOOT MANager (BOOTMAN)
LILO (LInux LOader)
GRUB (GRand Unified Bootloader)
maybe some think it would be cool to name it after a video game?
HaLo (HAiku LOader)?
Can you say major legal issue?
No thanks, I am very happy with calling it bootman because the name is
very good and makes perfect sense to me!
