GNU GRUB – Features

GRUB is dynamically configurable. It loads its configuration at startup, allowing boot-time changes such as selecting different kernels or initial RAM disks. To this end, GRUB provides a simple, bash-like, command line interface which lets users write new boot sequences. GRUB is highly portable. It supports multiple executable formats, and is geometry translation independent. Although [...]

Multipurpose Transaction Protocol – Compatibility

Because MTP/IP uses proprietary algorithms, compatible software must be installed on both ends of a communication path. Use of the UDP packet format permits compatibility with standard Internet Protocol (IP) network hardware and software. MTP/IP applications may use any available UDP port number. MTP and the applications which use it have been implemented for several [...]
