Under Options/Configuration is an option called "Enable Default Menu File (default.ezb)". What does this do exactly? If I wanted to use a menu called "default.ezb" shouldn't I just create such a menu or is there some special purpose to this option?

Also, I'm creating menus that are 1024 x 768 x 65000 colors. When I drop a BMP into the ezboot directory I see that a .BM2 file is also created and I understand that this is a 256 color version of my bitmap. I also see a file with the .B15 extension. What is this file?

EasyBoot will load default.ezb by default if your graphics card does not support the video mode required.

.BM2 is for 64K color mode, .B15 for 32K color mode.

.BMP is used at design stage only.
