Syslinux - Jul 2003 - Anyone tried SYSLINUX 2.05-pre2 yet?

-?

Yes! I just tried it and it solved my problems with hanging at the
"Ready." prompt after reading a MAC based configuration file.

Haven't had time to test it on a lot of computers, but one computer is a
heck of a lot better than with 2.05-pre1. Great, thank you!

It solved my problems with hanging at the "Ready." prompt when passing
'option configfile' via DHCP as well.  Thanks!

One issue I noticed, when building is the following error:

nasm -O99 -f bin -DDATE_STR="'0x3f00d8e5'"
-DHEXDATE="0x3f00d8e5" \
        -l pxelinux.lst -o pxelinux.bin pxelinux.asm
parseconfig.inc:252: error: symbol `pc_getline' not defined before use
make: *** [pxelinux.bin] Error 1

It may just be an issue with my version of nasm (0.98.22).  I moved the
line that defined 'pc_comment' below where 'pc_getline' was
defined and
it built fine.  I have attached a patch.
