Hi!
I noticed the new program memtest86+, based on memtest86, which
have not released since 22. May 2002.
Maybe this will be part of Fedora 2 ?

I can see value in having memtest86+ included in the distribution in two
possible ways:
1) Invokable from Disc1 SYSLINUX with "memtest", which runs the binary.
2) Install the memtest86+ RPM, and it drops the binary in a location
like /boot/memtest86+.bin, and adds itself to the grub menu like the
kernel RPMS do. Include a simple script that will write that binary to
a floppy, or use mkisofs to create a bootable .ISO containing that binary.
Sane idea?
