Maybe I missed something here. What I want to happen is PXE boot on a timeout will boot to the hard drive. But, what happens is my comboot menu, which is default, loads right away and the ontimeout only happens when I escape out of the menu. My pxelinux.cfg/default: default menu timeout 100 ontimeout localboot # The Main Menu label menu kernel mainmenu.com append keeppxe #

When I boot to efi my splash screen is tiled, how do I make it not tile? Optimally I'd like it to expand the image to the size of the screen, is that possible?

I cloned from git://git.zytor.com/syslinux/syslinux.git but this looks like 4.07, I expected something closer to a 6.xx, do I need to switch to another branch or something?

I'm using ipappend and getargs.com with a dos boot image to get the environment variables for the IP and MAC. The format of the %ip% environment variable is ip=<client-ip>:<boot-server-ip>:<gw-ip>:<netmask> Is there a way to tell ipappend to assign these to individual arguments. Or does anyone know a good way to parse each of these to individual variables in dos. What

Is there a way to tell pxelinux to boot to floppy. I need an option in my comboot menu for this. Thanks Aaron

I can't get fd.c32 to load a DOS 6.22 boot floppy it says: boot: fd.c32 . >>>! Non-System disk or disk error Replace and press any key when ready "chain.c32 fd0" doesn't work either. This floppy boots fine from the bios. fd.c32 does work with a Win98 boot floppy. Thanks for any help -Aaron

Hello, Is there any possibility pxelinux could have the ability to pull its kernel/ramdisk/disk images/etc via http instead of tftp? I would really like the ability to pxe boot a machine, have it tftp pxelinux and its config file. Then, all the files listed in the config file are pulled via http.
