I can successfully boot several DOS images on a USB thumbdrive using SysLinux/Memdisk. But, I'd like to load some DOS USB drivers to see the other (common) files on the same USB drive. Is this possible?? Boot memdisk/syslinux from a DOS image on USB .. and then read the USB as another drive?? thx <<jrxnelson -at- yahoo.com>> __________________________________________________

I've very new to this... what I want to achieve, is to have my clients network boot - and then be presented with a menu, allowing them *well, me* to choose what to do. Maybe, boot from the main hard disk, or boot a disk image from a samba share, or maybe even boot a CD image, instead of having the actual CD in the drive. Also, I would want to be able to change this menu, without actually

...e you need to run this as root. May be some version of this should be included with syslinux? Basically given an existing floppy image, it creates a larger image and copies its contents over and sets up the bootsector of the newimage appropriately. ---- SCRIPT STARTS ----- #!/bin/bash NEWIMAGE=dosimage.img OLDIMAGE=oldimage.img # Name of an existing dos image SIZEMB=8 MKDOSFS=mkdosfs # binary for mkdosfs SIZEKB=`echo "$SIZEMB 1024 * p" | dc` NUMSECT=`echo "$SIZEKB 2 * p" | dc` MNTNEW=`mktemp -d /tmp/mntptnew.XXXXXX` # Create a mountpoint MNTOLD=`mktemp -d /tmp/mntptold.XXX...
