There may not be anything that meets ALL your criteria... 
Both will do the job. I've found bootmanager pretty good, but it's my eye 
doing the holding in this case. It also meets a common definition of 
"free." (free with...)


The suggestion was made in a spirit of helpfulness. If it's the best you 
get, then it's well justified (and better than no suggestion). If there's 
a better (in your view) suggestion, feel free to take it.
