Thanks Nazo, for that amazing long answer. The problem is, though, that you're talking to an _XP user_, so I can't: "Just use dd with if=/dev/sda" because that's Dutch to me. I even had trouble understanding what a "distro" was, till I looked it up. And I can't run &...

Dear All I have a problem with my Compaq EVO n410c laptop. I want to install Windows (Win98/WinXP) on it. But this laptop don't have any floppy/cdrom to boot from. I have try to use My USB Drive to boot, using syslinux. Here's my step 1. Format the USB Drive using "HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool" 2. Install syslinux (syslinux -f F:). F is my USB Drive 3. Using

Please test this prerelease if you have a system on which 2.13 works but 3.0x doesn't. It's based on some of the stuff I have iterated back and forth with Nazo. Huge thanks to Nazo for trying a gajillion experiments and being very prompt returning results. http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/Testing/ -hpa

syslinux-owner at zytor.com: how can i run isolinux on my cf disk? Yuri++?yhuang at i-security.com.cn 2005-12-13

Lately I've been finding that most versions of Syslinux no longer work in the various linux distros I use them in (primarily Mandriva 2006 and Finnix.) When I try to run binaries such as the extlinux it produces the error "bash: ./extlinux/extlinux: cannot execute binary file" which it says for each of the major binaries. As nearly as I can tell, everything but the scripts in fact.

I've finally gotten around to playing with the advanced menu, though the complex example is definitely still beyond me. I'm trying to figure out a few basics from it, such as the tab key for line editing (don't know what I've done wrong here since it seems like I copied that part right) and the timeout. It looks to me like the only ontimeout implemented so far is an option to not

I decided to install Win2K on my "retrogaming/htpc" system to take advantage of the dual processors in the thing when I'm multitasking a lot, but, it's kind of annoying having to use first one bootloader to chainload my Windows 98 partition, then, via NTLDR, selection Windows 2000 to get to Win2k. I tried using the recovery console to try to force it to write a boot sector to

Hello all, I have a few questions about the menuing system that I haven't been able to find in the archives (it would be nice if they were available in a searchable form other than having to click on a month-by month basis and read through them - if they are searchable I would love to find a way to do this but it hasn't jumped out at me). My first question is : What is menu.c32? I

Is the splash screen RLE is standard 640x480x4 or a modified one because I can neither open the file in Photoshop CS2 (Windows under ext2fsd) or Gimp 2.2 (Linux 2.6.12.16ubuntu) and I am unable to decipher Perl scripts. Will syslinux support standard RLE?

I have had a problem with mkdiskimage for quite a while. It seems to always exit with the syntax messages. I'm not really familiar enough with Perl to figure out exactly what it's checking for there that it determines is incorrect, but, my guess would have to be that it doesn't like the letter. Eg, I think the last time it suceeded I was running it on sda, but, not I'm typically

hi, sorry for bothering the list but since I didn't find anything in the documentation or archives I would be grateful for your help. For a customized USB installer (based on redhat anaconda) I wanted to pass an kernel parameter which contains a colon. This leads twice to the error message "Unknown keyword in syslinux.cfg." Quoting the append string using ' or "

I originally asked in a hardware/software forum, but, got basically no results. It occured to me that if anyone would know, it would be you people. What I'm wanting to do is set up a rescue disc for a really old laptop. It needs to boot up a linux based CD, hopefully with minimal to no working stuff on the harddrive (I plan to put a floppy image to be written to a disk when needed to do the

I just now finally got around to redoing my grandmother's harddrive -- moving everything from a NTFS partition to FAT32 so I could set up rescue discs, be able to make repairs, and other such things that would then be able to safely write data to her primary partition. My resulting setup was a three partition drive with the first partition being a ~256MB EXT2 partition for boot files, the

I like how some cds, such as the windows installer discs will skip booting from the disc if you accidentally left the drive because they require you to hit a key to make them actually boot from the disc. I've kind of tried to emulate this behavior using chain.c32, but, it requires me to specify which harddrive, and I'd rather see an independant setup. I've tried localboot -1, but, it

Office Depot ran a deal with a Cruzer Micro 512MB (actually, around 488MiB) for about $20 after a rebate I may not see for months. I saw the ad yesterday and stopped by pretty well first thing this afternoon to snatch one up while they were still there since I've been having to make do with two 256MB drives to hold all the data I neded since one drive couldn't hold enough (though I must

I've been using a USB flash drive for quite a while now, and in my previous system it worked great, but, I find with my new motherboard now that I have upgraded I can't boot it. So I decided to try the trick mentioned in the README.usbkey file where you make a ZIP drive like image on the flash drive and set the BIOS to boot a USB ZIP drive instead. Unfortunately, it still doesn't

I recently got a cheap PenDrive iVO which I'll be the first to admit is anything but perfect, but, a pretty decent player considering it's cost is that of the other players with half the memory. One of the things I was looking forward to was having a great bootable flashdrive with my favorite linux rescue image and a few other diagnostic/repair things. Unfortunately, since I tried to put
