SYSLINUX 2.08-pre1 released
Working on fixing lower-priority bugs that I didn't want to risk
destabilizing the 2.07 release for:
Changes in 2.08:
* Add "timeoutcmd" to allow timeout to have a different action
than just pressing Enter.
* Fix bugs in the COMBOOT/COM32 command-line parsing. APPEND
now works with COMBOOT/COM32 images.

forwarding emails using sieve
I know this is a tad tangential to dovecot, but maybe someone has some
pointers for me. I'm trying to forward emails using the sieve filtering
and redirect doesn't do it because it doesn't wrap the message in a new
email, instead, it seems to just change the envelope From (and To). This
causes the outbound relay to reject the message for security/spam
reasons (forged From). It

No thanks for breaking third-party applications
Hi *,
I was just debugging why TFTP booting did not work any more
on a system that had pxelinux.0 was updated.
?Since version 5.00, support for 16-bit COMBOOT modules has been
dropped, and c32 modules switched from the COM32 object format to ELF.?
Ugh. Well, updating the *.c32 files was enough to make the
Linux discless thingy work again. BUT!
The MirBSD bootloader actually took advantage of

Using syslinux to boot from .... hard disk?
Hi all,
Sorry if this question seems odd. Is it possible to use syslinux to boot
from a regular hard disk? I know that's exactly what grub, lilo etc. are
doing, but I would really like to utilize the comboot option of
syslinux. Are there LBA limitations to such a setup?

Thanks, that works! How do I use that in the generic case?
The ?pxebsd.0? file can be called as?
? PXE loader
? COMBOOT (16-bit)
? DOS .COM

New hack against BSD, Linux is _mostly_ safe from it.
My housemate has formalized a sortof new attack against unix-style
operating systems. He''s a BSD fan, so that''s where he developed the
attack. He asked me to check Linux, which I did. It seems Linux is
not vulnerable to it. This attack is going out to BUGTRAQ tonight.
The attack isn''t too serious because it requires physical access to
the console, but it

USB question
The BIOS on my laptop does not support booting from USB.
I would like to be able to have my Windows XP on a partition
on a USB disk drive and be able to run from the USB disk using
perhaps a CD or floppy to bootstrap the system.
My questions:
1). Is there a way to use syslinux and friends to do this?
2). If not, is there some other boot loader that may work?
3). Is there any hope at all?

vesamenu back to text before booting
Hi,
I still have the question: when I have an environment that uses
vesamenu, for example on PXE, how do I configure it so that, for
some of the menu entries, it switches back to the text mode (03h)
before handing off to the next bootloader / kernel?
Thanks,

Can this be done with PXELinux?
Hi
This is what I like to be able to do.
1. Computer boot on LAN, using PXELinux.
2. If the computer is booting for the first time it sends MAC adr, RAM, size of harddrive and name of videocard to a shared folder on a computer, maybe a server, that is attached to the network.
3. If this is not the first time it scan for a new task, could be a new ghostimage or an unattended installation of a

OT: DOE - experiments for teaching
Hi,
I'm sorry for this not being related to R but I think this is a good
place to ask. I'm looking for DOE examples(experiments) that can be done
at home or in class, such as Paper Helicopter, Paper Towel etc.. I'm
thankful for any comment.

Local boot problem
Hello,
I'm going to prepare a multiboot computer laboratory for students.
I need to have a central server to order which system should be booted
(systems are on local hd).
I hope it can be done with pxelinux, but I met a problem during tests.
At this moment I have one system (linux) on a disk an lilo in MBR.
PXE booting from network looks fine, but I can't boot locally:

I mentioned in a private email recently that it would be useful if syslinux

DSL vs X100P
I was told the X100P will have issues if installed on a line with a DSL
connection. Is there a card that will work correctly on a DSL connection?
Thanks!!

multiple comboot files?
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 <- ???
