Hi, The bios is not able to boot from usb, but only from floppy. I want to boot an Ubuntu-installation from usb. The iso-file was moved with usb-creator to the usb-stick. I have got a boot-floppy, which starts an DamnSmallLinux usb-stick. But this bootfloppy doesn't start the Ubuntu-usb-stick. Which parameters in syslinux.cfg I must change to start Ubuntu-Linux? There are the following

Hi, is there an easy way to circumvent the SYSLINUX novice protection thing? intended users don't know about CTRL key to circumvent it. I'm trying to make a generic bootdisk for systems of 8086 - Pentium4. however the bootdisk is slow, so I'd like to use Syslinux + Memdisk to load a diskette image. then the text displayed to user will be: 1) FreeDOS bootdisk (accelerated, 386

Dear All, first of all I must admit I posted this problem on the CentOs forum yesterday, with 0 replies so far. :-( I'm googling this problem all weekend, and getting a bit desperate actually.

Hello, many of our platforms do not have a integrated floppy, some even don''t have a floppy controller. As pxelinux still has a problem with machines without a floppy in combination with some bios versions I need to chainload a different bootstrap loader which works on the floppyless platforms. But I also need to load a BartPE and the other BS loader does not support that. So I tried to

I'm trying to install CentOS 2.1 on SATA drive that lives on ICH7R controller. I have the controller setup in BIOS to "compatibility" mode, which means it should look just like regular IDE controller to the OS. In this mode, ide0 and ide1 are PATA controllers, and 4 SATA ports are mapped to ide2 and ide3. If I boot from the 2.1 installation CD, all the drives are detected

Hello Samba, I have a question and I can not find it on the web. I have a share and that works fine but there as files in it I want to hide. (same share as the webserver) I want to hide the *.php files. My question is"How do I do that?" Subdirs is already hidden but the files in the root/dir of the share not. The conf file is included. Kind regards, Martijn Zuiderwijk --

Just for the record, I want to let the list know that I succeeded in booting a modified Universal TCP/IP Network Bootdisk floppy from http://members.iinet.net.au/~bdriver/bootdisk/ I started with a Win98 Bootfloppy from http://www.tobs.uku.co.uk. Then I made a disk image from this, using dd.exe from cygwin. Then I converted this disk image from 1.44MB to 2.88MB with winimage. Then I copied

Hi friends, I am new to this list and have some questions about PXE Booting, because its not working well.

But now, I thought, It would be really a great Idea to make my clients able to

Howdy, I've got syslinux 1.71 and I'm having a strange booting problem with isolinux. I am constructing a bootable cd as per the example, and I'm using the redhat 7.1 boot floppy as a base (so effectively, I've got the redhat 7.1 bootfloppy as a cdrom - needed because I have a larger kernel). My symptoms are, the system boots from cdrom and presents me with the boot menu (hurrah,

Sir or Madam, I am in a new project writing software for embedded apps. We use a single board computer consisting of (a) linux (b) syslinux boot loader (c) compact flash file system (d) x86 processor. (see www.embeddedx86.com) (e) other HW and SW. Using vendor provided files, I can easily prepare a compact flash (CF) system which boots 2.4.23 linux just fine. I can telnet in and so on and so

Hi there! I installed Linux Mint on my laptop a few days ago. Installed Wine from the software manager. Works fine. I installed Steam through the Winetricks app. Okay, all good.

So I installed DirectX 9 and components

Hi, First, let me thank you for the excellent documentation and programming work on Syslinux. It has made getting to this point infinitely easier. Unfortunately, I need to request some guidance in troubleshooting a problem I am having using the RedHat installer on their version 7.3, which uses Syslinux as the boot mechanism. A little background: I have an old Micron Powerdigm XsU dual PII

Hi. I've recently picked up a 256MB compact flash card and CF->IDE adapter. I'm wanting to put a smaller version of knoppix on here. I came across miniknoppix here: http://www.inittab.org and decided to have a play around with that. So far I have opened up the ISO image and copied all the files out. I have put a boot sector onto the CF by putting the CF into the IDER adpater then
