AiR-BOOT

AiR-BOOT is a great tool, open source under GPLv3, and easy to use to multiboot several OSes on the same machine.

Main Page

Here is how it looks:

With all the respect to the author, Martin Kiewitz, I would move the copyright information, his dedication to Gerd and license information to a different page like "About this software" or "Release Information". Copyright is important, but it does not need to be shown on every page of the application.

Options Page

Options page has some information on the bottom that never changes. I also think it can be good to move it to a "About this software" or "Release Information" page.

It will look more clean like.

Or if we include a "About this Software" option.

The Keys

Sadly for the world, the F keys are getting removed from the keyboards of modern Laptops and PCs, so it is needed to also have alternative keys for the functions keys required to operate AirBoot.

  • F10 - Setup / Save & Exit Setup
  • F1 - Flags / Show Help for Item
