Hello, there is a "fdboot.img" floppy drive image included with FreeDOS ISO file.

Int 22h AX 001Eh for now as it appears that the COMBOOT API is designed to be strictly sequential. The API gets extended but only implemented (for now) for SYSLINUX in ldlinux.asm.

Is there a way for isolinux/syslinux to execute a list of comboot files immediately at startup, and only once? I have a bunch of small comboot .com files that I want to batch run immediately, then after that do a DISPLAY boot.msg similar in some ways to an autoexec.bat. For example: DEFAULT mycd APPEND ramdisk_size=100000 init=/etc/init lang=us .... TIMEOUT 300 ONSTARTUP mybatch <- ???

Since lot of people want this thing, I will try to take a stab at it. For now, I will hard code the menu in the code, and then somebody else can remove that restriction. May be we can add some kind of keyword to the config file which syslinux ignores and the comboot menu does something with it. I have one question about comboot: If I write a DOS program using C (compiled using watcom -3 -mt -osx

Hi, I need to add an additional feature to Murali's menu system: sending and receiving UDP datagrams. I have no experiences with writing programs at such a low level. Therefore, I need some help. 1) How to transfer IP address and other options from PXElinux to comboot? 2) I got PXE specification, ver. 2.1 (sept. 1999); can I follow it safely? 3) Is there an easy interface to use PXE stack

On the SysLinux page, there is a screenshot of "COMBOOT Menu System for SYSLINUX developed by Murali Krishnan Ganapathy" (Advanced Menu System). I was wondering where I might be able to download this menu system in full to work with? If you dont want to share, I understand, but I am really intrigued by this and want to learn more, and maybe make my own design if I can figure it out.
