Hi folks, I'd like to write a graphical menu for a rescue Linux system I'm currently working on in my spare time. I'm experimenting with VESA for this... but my real questions are: How do I boot a Linux kernel from a COMBoot (.cbt) program ? Supposed I have syslinux.cfg that looks like this: DEFAULT menu LABEL menu KERNEL menu.cbt LABEL linux KERNEL kernel.bzi Do I have to use

Thanks for the comment. The next pass for a file format ... ------ FILE BEGINS ----- # Comment lines [menu] item="text to display" status="status line text" action= SUBMENU | INACTIVE | whatever submenu= <number> data="arbitrary string" item="text to display" status="status line text" action= SUBMENU | INACTIVE | RUN | EXIT submenu=

Hi folks, I've got a problem with COMBoot (16 bit) in SYSLINUX 2.06: while the write string call (ax=2, int 22h) works just fine, the open file call (ax=6, int 22h) does nothing at all. Calling that function doesn't modify any register, and doesn't modify the carry flag. I then modified comapi_open in comboot.inc so it sets ax to some value and recompiled SYSLINUX, reinstalled it

Im trying to get syslinux to let me boot feather linux from my USB drive. But I don't understand what im being asked to do in the instructions. I need help, thank you. Ricky

Hi all, I've tried and retried to make some USB sticks bootable. I started by making one partition, labeling it FAT16, copying a kernel, an initrd and a very simple syslinux.cfg file. I ran syslinux /dev/sda1 on it. Didn't boot. I tried placing on it the mbr.bin file ('cat mbr.bin > /dev/sda') but still no boot. Then I tried various combinations of these two. Labeling

Hi, I am looking for a solution to boot MY system on any PC. To store most of the system and all of my data I want to use an USB storage (in my case an external USB harddisk (2.0 capable)). Since booting off an USB device is not an universal thing I would prefer to have a boot disk with a minimal system - just enough to load most (all?) of the system from the attached USB device. Is this an

Okay, I'm going to ask the gajillion-dollar question... I've been doing syslinux for 11 years now. From a very limited scope it has since grown and is now a very advanced boot loader. Unfortunately, it's not clear to me anymore to what extent the work I'm doing is useful. I personally dislike grub because of its monolithic design, and because the grub people have

Greetings, Summary: Has anyone else started a package (or have code) with the capability to write Vis5D-readable netCDF files containing irregularly-spaced data? I've recently put together what might be the beginnings of a (GPL'ed) R interface package to the Vis5D volumetric visualization program (http://vis5d.sourceforge.net). Vis5D is commonly used in the atmospheric science and

CentOS has been distributing the Enterprise version of MySQL as part of our CentOS Web Stack that is in the CentOSPlus repository of CentOS-4 for quite a while. http://wiki.centos.org/Repositories/CentOSPlus/CentOSWebStack MySQL has recently changed it's policy concerning the distribution of it's Enterprise Sources (they no longer distribute them as a tarball):

Hi, I'm currently trying to build up a booting usbstick. works fine with syslinux. However I have some troubles putting my own kernel image (bzImage) instead of that of a distribution (i.e. already compiled). The only difference I noticed is that the "pre-compiled" kernel is about 1.4M big whereas mine 1.5M. The Syslinux Homepage confirm that "this version [...] can now handle

hello everyone, i encountered a very strange problem and hope that someone out there knows a solution. that is, when i'm deleting several tousand files with a batch script on a samba share, windows says: "the system could not find the path specified" and deletes just approximatly one third of the files. this only occures if i'm delete explicitly from a dos shell using E:\>del

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

On the CentOS mailing list and Forums, I occasionally see questions relating to accessing Windows shares. Thought I could share my notes on this subject which I put together on a web page: http://toracat.freeshell.org/centos/HowToAccessWin.html It is a short practical guide. I would appreciate receiving comments and suggestions. Akemi

Hi, I'm trying to write an extremely dense tinc-mini-howto. You can see it at: http://keetweej.vanheusden.com/~folkert/tinc_mini_howto.html Please send me suggestions on how I can make things better and such. Oh, and if someone could tell me how to configure tinc so that it authenticates against the host on the other side, please tell me! (couldn't figure that one out) Folkert. Tinc:

I would like to have two compressed ext2 filesystems on my CF card, one for the root fs and the other smaller one to be mounted at /opt/XXX where I can compress what is in ram after modification and write it back to disk at regular intervals of time. can anyone tell me how I can do this? Thanks
