Hello everyone, I have just released SYSLINUX 3.70, which is the first version which includes gPXE for support of non-TFTP network scripts, as well as a large number of other enhancments. gPXE support is still somewhat experimental - in particular it still doesn't support chaining other NBPs. Very special thanks to: - rPath, Inc, my employer, for the uncountable hours I've spent

This release is identical to 1.67-pre1. Unfortunately the people who reported problems with 1.66 never got back to me to indicate if it solved their problem or not, but since it fixes a real bug, regardless, I decided to release it as 1.67. ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/ -hpa 1.67 is a trivial bug fix release affecting a fairly small number of systems. 1.66 is an

Since I've gotten convinced the really serious PXELINUX/ISOLINUX bug in 1.71 got squashed, I have released 1.72. Again, 1.72 is a bug fix release only. I have some additional rewrites pending before I want to introduce features that use the new core code, but let's make sure it gets usable again, first... -hpa SYSLINUX 1.70 doesn't introduce any new features, but contains a

Changes in 2.05: * PXELINUX: Add a default query based on the hardware address of the boot device. This is in lower

I have released SYSLINUX 1.71 after fixing the total "brown-paper-bag" class bug in 1.70.

It also includes some bug fixes. SYSLINUX 1.71 is a bug fix to 1.70. Changes in 1.71: * Fix a

Hi... I'm Jaspreet. I've been having the memdisk memory overlapping problems since 2.04 Its always seen in the compressed images whereas the uncompressed images works just fine !!!

Hello everyone, I have just released SYSLINUX 3.71. This is pretty much a bug fix and hardware support release. The major new *features* are the "initrd" command (syntactic sugar, but it supposedly makes it easier for some tools), the "hide" option to chain.c32, and the ifcpu64.c32 module. As always, special thanks to rPath, Inc., my employer, for the countless hours I

I have released SYSLINUX 2.04, mostly to address the 2.03 MEMDISK bug. At the same time I'm getting the PXELINUX blksize and SYSLINUX installer changes out there, which hopefully is a good thing. New release mostly to address the MEMDISK corruption issue. Changes in 2.04: * ALL: Reclaim even more low memory by observing that comboot_seg == real_mode_seg is perfectly fine,

Hello everyone, I have pushed out SYSLINUX 3.08. It's identical in all but version number to 3.08-pre11.
