So neither a fork nor a different project ;) . According to the link I had provided: Since version 5.10, a special PXELINUX binary, lpxelinux.0, natively supports HTTP and FTP transfers, (...) You probably already have the required file and only need to change your dhcp configuration to point your clients to a different boot file (and make sure it's accessible via tftp).> I can vouch that running 4.07 fixed my issue with older model laptops > I mentioned.

Ah! I was only searching in 4.07 and didn?t think to search in the 6.03 for that.

[syslinux] syslinux PXE boot version upgrade, network no longer working
Hi All, I had some issues with keeppxe and also found a solution after much trial and error. I would have not mind trying out ?experimental? binaries but it was not clear where to find them. I use a stock a stock install of slackware64 current for my tftp server. I use pfsense to point to the tftp server under the dhcp boot options. I upgraded from Syslinux 6.03 to 6.04 pre1 and was still unable to keep the UNDI API. I am glad I subscribed to this list, because otherwise I would have not even known that there were issues with keeppxe. The solution for me was to chain load version 4.07. I already did this for a menu to help me load VMWare ESXi 5.5, as they use their own version of mboot.c32 that only works with syslinux before 4.07. My tftp directory (tftpboot) essentially has a subdirectory named dos. I use ?MENU INCLUDE pxelinux.cfg/dos.cfg? inside of the default file(tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default). The dos cfg file looks as follows: #tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/dos.cfg MENU BEGIN MENU TITLE DOS LABEL DOS MENU LABEL PXE Boot DOS KERNEL pxechn.c32 append ::/dos/pxelinux.0 MENU END Inside the dos subdirectory, I have 3 files (pxelinux.0, memdisk, FreeDOS.img.gz) and another pxelinux.cfg subdirectory. The file tftpboot/dos/pxelinux.0 and tftpboot/dos/memdisk come from syslinux 4.07. There is another default file located inside dos/pxelinux.cfg that looks as follows: #tftpboot/dos/pxelinux.cfg/default DEFAULT DOS LABEL DOS KERNEL memdisk APPEND keeppxe initrd=FreeDOS.img.gz raw SERVERNAME=DATASERVER COMPUTERNAME=TERM01 USERNAME=GUEST WORKGROUP=WORKGROUP This made it possible for me to pxe boot Free DOS 1.2 and use the Intel Universal NDIS Driver v2.11 981212 with the Microsoft 3.0 Net Client. Finding the NDIS.DOS file for DOS proved difficult but I ended up finding them by doing ftp searches online for pxe20-sdk.exe, pxe20-pdk.exe, pxe_pdk.exe. I hope this information also helps someone else and I hope a newer release of syslinux eventiually fix the keeppxe parameter which I also discovered has to come after an append statement and is case sensitive.
