similar to: isolinux.cfg - DISPLAY command - screen pause?

I am trying to build a distribution without having to be root. The SYSLINUX installer typically needs root to do loopback mounting, but if you have MTOOLS, you can use that instead. This seems to work so far: #!/bin/sh # A minimal replacement for /usr/bin/syslinux; assumes that ldlinux.sys # and ldlinux.bss are available in the current directory. You must # specify locations of mkdosfs and

I have just received some audit info on the SYSLINUX 2.01 installer running setuid. There seems to be some issues, and although I can fix them easily enough I'm somewhat questioning the whole approach. The other alternative would be to make the syslinux installer a wrapper around mtools, and use mtools for the filesystem access. Since this would be done entirely in userspace, as a normal

Peter, I'm a new user of Linux trying to use the SYSLINUX boot loader to create a Linux system. I'm doing it on a PC with WIN98 installed, and I prefer using a dual boot system. I got through as far as creating a semi-bootable floppy. The problem I'm getting states "could not find kernel image: Linux." However, I do get the "boot:" prompt as well (I just

Seth, Thank you for your reply. I'm sorry to bother with this, but what is the "root pivot" function and where can I find doc's on it. From what I understand from your email the system would basically boot twice. Once from a stripped kernel on the floppy disk to mount the CD, and then after the CD is mounted it would reboot with the kernel and initial randisk found on the

Hi. I am trying to build a bootable linux CD using isolinux and a cloop image. I am a bit lost right now. What I have done is built a custom distro on a seperate partition on my hard drive. I can boot to it with Grub no problem. I've added the ioslinux directory with isolinux.bin, isolinux.cfg, a kernel (with initrd, loopback, iso support), and an initrd file. My next mission is to some

I am planning to release SYSLINUX 2.08 in the next day or so; basically 2.08-pre9 without any further changes. So, I would appreciate any and all testers for this... -hpa

perhaps the boot-from-cdrom code in Smart Boot Manager? Bernd >>> No, since booting from CD-ROM requires that the El Torito part of the BIOS is activated, which it won't be if it didn't boot from CD-ROM in the first place. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Op deze e-mail zijn de volgende voorwaarden van toepassing:

I have a Lilo.conf file, which I have tried for many hours to convert to Syslinux. I looked around on the web for references on translating some of the components. I want to convert it to Syslinux/Isolinux. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. When I tried to convert it I made sure that the kernel and initrd had proper DOS names and such. -Michael =:LILO.CONF:= prompt timeout=10

Hello list. I have configured a Linux box for booting from a Compact Flash instead of a Hard Disk, this is an IDE CF, Syslinux is on the MBR because it loads, when I put the the kernel file named as linux as it expects i load it but when I rename it expecting it to load the SYSLINUX.CFG it does not load the menu as I would like, I will put two images on that Compact flash in order to boot from

>+ booting floppy34.fs image from the CD works correctly (no ISOLinux, in >built BIOS emulates the floppy) Hi, have you tried the following (Isolinux direct emulation): KERNEL 34FS.IMG should function the same as if direct 1.44MB eltorito emulation was used. but using MEMDISK it fails? KERNEL MEMDISK APPEND INITRD=34FS.IMG that's all I can come up with .

I'm considering the suggestion which was raised before about turning the debugging messages on by default in isolinux, or specifically, not building the non-debugging-messages version in the standard distribution. What do people think (especially distro maintainers?) -hpa

Hello! I'm trying to boot with a remastered Knoppix 3.4 CD.

The revised patch submitted on #4748 broke the build, I''m looking to sort out why. Also note that this auto-test email didn''t make it to rails-core because it was too big (every test failed, so the resulting email was huge). I''ll patch my auto-testing script to truncate the email to no larger than a few kb. Michael Schoen wrote: > "marcel" made

Hello, Can I load setupldr.bin directly using isolinux without original CD boot sector? Thanks, Theewara

Hi, (1.) How is it possible to get automatic a "lower triangle of correlation matrix" ? h.cor <- cor(dat,use="pairwise.complete.obs") zz <- lower.tri(h.cor,diag=T) ### that's not what i wish and "wrong" ? results <- matrix(unlist(h.cor[upper.tri(h.cor,diag=T)])) results <- matrix(unlist(h.cor[upper.tri(h.cor,diag=T)]),5) Must i take the lowest

Lately R has been behaving strange on my Linux (Ubuntu 7.10) machine, with occasional segfaults.
