50- Re-organised Scripts folder in to Main and Sub scripts. The main scripts for the standard and EFI system partition
51installation options have been changed to used the code that I'd previously re-structured. The Sub scripts are the
52original chameleon installer scripts with maybe some tweaks/additions, split in to separate scripts. These scripts
53include the previous additions I'd made including checking for FAT16 partitions, installing boot0md or boot0 depending
54on whether or not a Windows installation is found and writing boot1h or boot1f32 depending on installing to HFS or
55FAT32 format partitions.
