> What remains to be done here, besides cleaning up the code from temporary comments and DPRINTs (and fixing potential bugs), is to actually parse the NTOS loader configuration files (freeldr.ini in ROS' case, or boot.ini in Win2k3's case, etc...) to retrieve the actual installation paths. So far these are currently hardcoded for testing purposes only.
