I still need some help to install 3.70-pre17. I tried to install from
Ubuntu and I had the same issue than with Fedora: I've lost all my
partitions. I may have done something wrong.
I untar the archive, make, make extbootinstaller, then cat
core/extlinux.bss > /dev/sda. Reboot and crak, no more partitions.
How do install extlinux from this pre17 archive?
