Hi All, I hope to find some time to work on the Advanced menu system. I personally no longer have a need for it (changed jobs). Since I dont want to spend time doing stuff which will not be useful, I would to know what features you would like. What I have in my list are * Eliminate the need to compile each menu into its own .c32 file * Eliminate #define constants in menu.h which impose various restrictions (Max # menus, Max # items in a menu, ...) * Add VESA Graphics support (hopefully it is easy) - Murali

Hello First, many thanks for the effort done for pxelinux and the advanced menu. We use the advanced menu in our company too. It's really usefull, as I build every install option of the Gentoo 2006.1 choosable into the menu which also checks for dependency. This helps a lot for medium experienced Linux user here. VESA isn't really important to us.
