Hi, I've seen that syslinux does include also a MBR record. But how can I install it on a HD under Windows? And how can I backup the previous MBR? Does syslinux help us on this task also? bye! -- Paolo Salvan _______________________________ X v i s i o n Via Vigonovese 123A 35127 - Padova - Italy +39 049 8709427 tel +39 049 8709426 fax www.xvision.it

Hi! A friend of mine has tried a PXE floppy (build from the new etherboot 5.3.12) to load PXELINUX.0; a menu voice of the pxelinux.cfg use the LOCALBOOT statement. Selecting this statement, the PC retry to boot from the floppy... is this normal? The user expected that LOCALBOOT would have tried the NEXT boot device (ie CDROM or HD), not the FIRST boot device (the floppy)... (note: this has

Hi, Is it possible to create a boot floppy that I can use to start iso's that use say syslinux ? Dave T.

hi! I?m working on a projekt ( unattended.sourceforge.net ) This is using a linuxboot.iso My problem is the following: I opened up the iso with winiso, extrcat the isolinux.cfg, edited it with vi for windows as follows: # isolinux/pxelinux configuration file default unattended label unattended kernel bzImage # Add options (z_user=..., z_path=..., etc.) to this line. append

I decided the FAT directory-parsing bug was about as serious as it gets, so I decided to push out a new release. However, I decided I feel comfortable enough with the new features (or at least, that they wouldn't break anything else, knock on wood) that I did the patch off the 3.10 development tree and called it 3.05. Changes in 3.05: * New API function "shuffle and

Hi I have searched the site, list archives, google etc and have not been able to find an appropriate answer so I am asking it here. Apologies if this has been answered already. I have a kiosk-style pc which I wish to remote boot to keep it quiet. This way I don't need a hard disk at all, keeping it truly silent as it has a passive cpu cooler. Unfortunately, it has no upgrade options. I

I'm playing with syslinux 3.0x to get PC to boot from USB key... In particular, I'm giving a look at the "ZIP geometry hack" to get some more BIOS boot working with USB... Some question: - if we have a usbkey with a single partition, can we change the geometry without requiring to reformat the partition? Or is a reformat unavoidable? - at the moment we can use the "ZIP

Hi! I'm preparing what should be a general "network boot" solution for the ones that needs to do network boot on PC without BIOS support / ROM chips. It supports both PXE (like pxelinux.0) and NBI images. I've prepared a precompiled multi-driver image that can autodetect and handle nearly 30 PCI and ISA NICs. My "remote boot kit" contains the same image in 4

Hi all! ...As I'm the author of http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=190646 http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=80408 (for Steven: these two links are for the SAME file...) ...I'd like to say some comments, to let you understand what the peculiarities of my approch are... My approach is more minimalistic: etherboot have already the capabilities to

Hi all, I've just released a new version of my universal network boot package, built from the just-released Etherboot 5.4.0 Features: - It now supports both pxelinux (and others PXE second stage loaders) and etherboot ".nbi" images. - Available in the following formats: - floppy image - CD ".iso" image - kernel-like image (usable with any kernel loader) for

With the new 3.01 and 3.07 version I found a big slowdown booting from USB devices. On my PC it takes more than 2 minutes to load the kernel and the initrd filesystem. Compared with the previous behaviour of syslinux 2.13 with takes only 10 seconds or little more. The BIOS boots in FDD mode (DriveNumber variable is 0). I've also tried to disable the EDD support in the source. But the boot

Only to inform that I've just released the version 1.2 of makebootfat. makebootfat is a GPL command line utility able to create bootable USB disks for Linux and Windows using the FAT filesystem and syslinux. As far I know it's the most advanced tool available able to make bootable USB disks. It's able to autodetect/partition/format/populate the USB disk in a single step without any

Dear Opus developers. This is the first time I write here, so hello to everybody! Sorry to disturb you but I would like to ask you something I could not answer by googling and by looking at this mailing list archive. I have just started investigating this new and promising codec for real-time audio transport over the internet for industrial applications. I was previously experimenting with RTP

This patch fixes ISOLINUX/SYSLINUX when using the kernel mem= option with a value greater than the effective memory on the system. At present, in this condition the kernel doesn't boot correctly. The default Linux behaviour (verified on 2.4.22) is to ignore this option if the BIOS reports less memory than the value manually specified. This patch force the same behaviour for ISOLINUX/SYSLINUX.

Hi, I'm using Wine 0.9.27 and Ubuntu 6.06. I've problems when printing from Delphi Apps that use QReport (the default reporting engine for most Delphi versions), and after some hacking I've perhaps isolated the trouble: it seems that Delphi printing over a Canvas works only if I show the system PrintDialog or the PrinterSetupDialog befor printing, and I press OK in this dialog:

Hi, I'm writing as I'm an happy user of syslinux/isolinux(pxelinux, as it has kade booting from floppy/hd/cd simple and reliable... (I've looked the tons of workaround developers had to develop to circumvent bugs BIOS bug in isolinux....) I think that next frontier for syslinux should be USB booting: it already works, but here also there are a lot of BIOS problem that a bootloader

Quick summary: Syslinux stops at "Boot failed". Which, from a quick look at the raw disk image, seems to indicate that the boot sector loads but it fails to load the .sys loader. The details: I've been trying to load Linux (or etherboot...or anything at all that is not NT embedded) into a set of Compaq Evo T20 48/64 for a while now. What I finally managed to do is using the

Hi! I have a particular need... I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask, but surely here there are people that can say me if it is feasible or not... I'm working for a thin-client distribution (thinstation.sf.net); I want to boot it from various media (netowork, cdrom, hd, usb key...), and at the moment syslinux/isolinux/pxelinux are doing it very well... The problem is that the

Estimados compañeros me tiene loco un problema de codificación que no logro resolver. Importo un fichero cuyo nombre tiene acento. Pongamos por ejemplo "Adrián.doc". Escribo el siguiente comando: mdoc<-list.files(path = dest,pattern = "*.doc", full.names = TRUE) Entonces mdoc, además del path, se me presenta como: "Adria´n.doc" Aunque le quite la tilde con:
