Hi folks, I'm the creator and maintainer of a small "embedded" Linux distribution. We're currently developing a VPN solution and using SYSLINUX for booting. And yes, we'll play fair and provide all sources/patches to GPL'ed software when our product gets released :-) Anyway, while creating our product I had the idea of using disk-images to speed up the

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

Next, rename the function searchdir to searchdir4any, create a new function called

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

First of all Great software, Do you know how I can get the syslinux to display a help screen and then return to the menu, or where I can find information on making .cbt files.. Thanks. Your help would be much appreciated Rene -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

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

Hi All, I am using plot(x, type = 'l') for some plotting, but I would like rounded edges rather than jagged edges in the plot (purely for aestetic reasons). How could I achieve that?

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.

So here it is. Ugly and far from acceptable shape but nonetheless it seems to work. Parts are borrowed from syslinux core and of course the gfxboot patch for syslinux 3.63.

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

I found that the version of isolinux.bin (and the debug version too) doesn't work on my Via C3 system. I get the SAY text, but never the boot: prompt. C-A-Del doesn't reboot either. The debug version does not print anything after announcing it's opening the config file. Only the single SAY text follows. The cursor sits on the next blank line, useless (no responses to key presses).

Dea-R community. I'd like to draw your attention to an issue I have recently encountered while doing my current data analysis.

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
