Also the url for extipl is no longer valid.  (It hasn't been developed 
since 2002.)

Since extipl uses unallocated sectors on the disk, and not a separate 
partition, it can't be used on disks with gpt partition tables.  (The 
usually unallocated 62 sectors at the beginning of a disk with an 
ms-style mbr partition table contain the larger gpt partition table of 
32 sectors.)

Ideally we would have a package which will create a partition and 
install the boot partition selector there.
