similar to: grub in the mbr

Hello Recently I've been happily experimenting with syslinux, replacing grub and my old bootmanager. All works beautifully, but I have one question - in case of .bss bootsectors - what exactly and under what circumstances is patched in ? With syslinux used as main bootmanager - bootsectors from xp64, xp32 and [pre-syslinux] msdos 7.1 (98se) work perfectly fine when chainloaded natively as

Hi I am having problems loading bcdw (http://bootcd.narod.ru) from the isolinux bootloader. I use this to load the acronis programs. It worked fine up till version 3.51 but does not work anymore with 3.52. Here is the code to load the second bootmanager label l kernel /bcdw/bcdwboot.bin Any insights to what might be wrong here? With 3.52 I get Error! Cannot load

Dear syslinux maintainer, on a tablet pc with only a touchpad is during boot time no keyboard exist and therefore no user intervention possible to control the behavior of a bootmanager extlinux in my case. The machine is able to boot from a second drive a another as the default OS and so I think it must be potential at first time extlinux via menu to instruct, to boot from such a drive. If

a bit unrelated, still I wonder: does syslinux contain an mbr? or does anyone know any app that contains an mbr and can install it, without overwriting the partition table? my experience is, that is wise to have an mbr and use the active flag to select the active partition (which might have a bootmanager installed). however every linux distribution I know installed the bootloader such as

m0<-epxression((4*theta1*theta2-theta3^2)/(2*x*theta3^2)-0.5*theta1*x) params<-all.vars(m0) this reads all the params from m0 so theta1,2 and 3 correct? params<-params[-which(params=="x")] checks which params are multiplied by x? np<-length(params) for(i in 1:6){ esp<-get(sprintf("m%d",i-1))

To all, I''ve just recently finished my "Security Gateway Server" project which separates a 10 laptop WLAN subnet from our main LAN/Internet network. I used Debian Sarge with kernel 2.6.9/ipsec-netfilter patched, and Shorewall 2.2.0-RC3 on a Asus P4S533, 2.4 GHz PenIV and 512MB memory. The Toshiba A60-S166, PenIV, 2.4G laptops run Windows XP Pro and have internal Atheros based

Hello, I didn't recieve a response on freebsd-mobile, so I'm trying here. I'm trying to install FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE or 5.0-RELEASE onto my Dell Inspirion 8100.

Hi, I bought a USB hard drive, got Mandriva installed on it, and made it bootable with extlinux. Works great on machines that can boot from USB. I also created a boot cd using the instructions in the wiki. This is working too. The only problem with the boot cd is that I had to copy the kernel, initrd, etc. to the cd. This means that whenever I install a new kernel I'll have to create and

Hello again, althogh some of you already tried to help me, I still have the same problem: I'd like to test the new Samba 3.0 as a PDC for two Windows 2000 clients. My OS is FreeBSD 4.5 Can anyone help me with that ? I always get the errors : 'no user session key' and 'remote procedure call failed'.

Hello, can anyone tell me how to set up Samba 3.0 as a PDC ? It seems it is not the way it was in Samba 2.2.2...

I just sent a bug report about "mailx" being the default mailer, before I looked at bug.report() carefully and saw that it checked "/usr/ucb/mail", and "Mail" as well as "mailx". I guess I had had the problem with this in a previous version. Would it be clearer to have .Options$mailer be a vector or list of alternate mailers that were checked in turn,
