Hi, a user of my MoviX distro (movix.sf.net) sent me a msg about syslinux failing in a strange way to boot from floppy. You can read his msg at http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=959734&forum_id=207428 Basically, the splash picture and the Fn help keys work but while booting he gets always a "Boot failed: please change disks and press a key to continue." message . The problem seems a BIOS problem since the same floppy and the same floppy drive booted fine from another PC. The MoviX boot floppy uses syslinux 2.06. Any hint would be appreciated! Thanks, Roberto De Leo

I am looking for a Linux or Windows program to disassemble a DOS .exe. I am asking this list because it is the only community that I know of that still uses DOS. Thanks.
