...d my kernel and added some additional drivers to it, making it too large to fit on a floppy along with my ramdisk. This is no problem for my PXE-enabled clients, of course, but for those machines that do not support PXE, I can no longer use syslinux because it apparently does not support the "prompt_ramdisk" option so that I can swap in my second floppy disk. Do you have any plans to include this functionality in a later release? Many thanks. Mike Jones

Hello, First of all, thanks very much for this piece of software, it's working like a charm. I'm using it to boot a Linux distro I'm working on. What I want to deal with is the display of accented characters in ISOLINUX. First, I set EXTLINUX up to boot an ext2-formatted USB stick. No problem so far. I wrote a config file ordering to load a font (lat-9w) to display french

I have worked in IT for several years and programming or anything related to this is not exactly one of my strengths. I need help creating a vesamenu.. Im trying to setup up so I can access my Acronis backup and disaster recovery 10 server, knoppix live cd, hardware diagnostics - pcdoctor and maybe a hiren type boot cd. I checked the Linux irc channel which I guess is now abandoned. If anyone
