Office Depot ran a deal with a Cruzer Micro 512MB (actually, around 488MiB) for about $20 after a rebate I may not see for months. I saw the ad yesterday and stopped by pretty well first thing this afternoon to snatch one up while they were still there since I've been having to make do with two 256MB drives to hold all the data I neded since one drive couldn't hold enough (though I must

HALLO, HOW IT IS POSSIBLE TO ACCESS FROM A DOS-BOOTDISK (VER.7.0) RUNNING ON A WINDOWS95-MACHINE TO A SAMBA-SERVER (WITHOUT STARTING WINDOWS). IF WIN95 IS RUNNING THE CONNECTION WITH THE SAMBA- NETWORK SERVER IS OK. (MS-NETWARE CLIENT AND TCP/IP) WHICH PARTS OF DRIVER, MANAGER, CLIENTS, PROTOCOLS ARE TO INSTALL ON THE MACHINE AN ON THE BOOTDISK? THANKS, PETER Mail: p_w@aon.at

I'm trying to use this universal DOS TCP/IP boot disk available here: http://members.iinet.net.au/~bdriver/bootdisk/ It requires an MS-DOS formatted disk created by Windows XP. It works great as a floppy but doesn't boot at all with memdisk. The problem can be simplified down to just the XP boot disk. If you make an MS-DOS startup disk with XP on a floppy, dd the floppy to an image

Dear All I have a problem with my Compaq EVO n410c laptop. I want to install Windows (Win98/WinXP) on it. But this laptop don't have any floppy/cdrom to boot from. I have try to use My USB Drive to boot, using syslinux. Here's my step 1. Format the USB Drive using "HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool" 2. Install syslinux (syslinux -f F:). F is my USB Drive 3.

Hello, Im trying to learn syslinux and want to create a multiboot flashdrive, which will have more than one liveCD available for booting. I've installed a simple live cd (secure linux live cd disk#1) to my Fat32 partition. It boots well. Now i want to add another live CD (geexbox disk#2) to boot from the same Fat32 partition. I need to copy some files from live cd (geexbox) and add them

I've run into a rather odd problem. It seems that I can format and make bootable CF/SD cards and USB Flashdrives under Windows 98SE and MS-DOS 6.22 that will boot to a A: prompt on my system. But when I try making the same CF/SD cards and USB Flashdrives bootable under linux using syslinux I get nothing, not even a error message. It's like the syslinux bootloader doesn't even

I have an application/program which shows 'bios EDD error' when using Isolinux (with either loading an image directly through MEMDISK, or booting to A:), and not when using a bootdisk directly or booting a bootdisk directly which has SYSLINUX on it. configuration: bootable cdrom with Isolinux 2.11/2.12pre9 as bootloader. 1.44MB bootdisk with MSDOS.SYS/IO.SYS and the UDMA2 dos driver,

Hi All, On my gateway server I'm Installing CentOS on a flashdrive. is that a bad idea? the server keep hang, I can ping the server from the LAN and from the internet, the internet connection from LAN to internet is OK but another service is down, ssh, VPN (PPTPD) and another service. Even the console is unresponsive so I have to reset the server. Last time when I still can do SSH to server

Hi there guys! I want to set up Puppy-Linux to run off a 2GB USB key-drive in native mode (I.e. not as a virtual machine, which I'm finding runs too slow on my system, under XP.) To test it out, I want to run off a 150GB USB HDD. Now this drive is NTFS formatted and way bigger than the 1GB file structure limit that I read about in the Syslinux documentation. There's only one

Memdisk 2.08 cannot boot an XP boot floppy image (XP appears to use WinME boot files for its bootable floppy). For example: http://members.iinet.net.au/~bdriver/bootdisk/download.htm This disk will not boot with Memdisk (Memdisk starts to load the image and then hangs). I'm using Bart's tools to build a boot CD: http://www.nu2.nu/corpmodboot/ Which uses Isolinux and Memdisk.

This is a quick recovery and fix for the machines rendered unbootable after the grub2/shim yum update. It is written for CentOS 8.2.2004 but similar should work for any CentOS 8 or 7 as long as you get the correct shim file, that is, the one from the latest installation media. I am running on an x86_64 architecture (see uname -i). Please use the correct shim file for your architecture

Memdisk 2.08 does not appear to be able to boot an XP DOS image (it starts to boot and then hangs). XP DOS appears to be borrowed from WinME (v4.90.3000). I was trying to make a multiple boot CD with Bart's method: http://www.nu2.nu/bootcd/#multimemdisk but substituting Brads TCP boot disk instead of Barts: http://members.iinet.net.au/~bdriver/bootdisk/index.htm Brad uses XPs DOS as it

Hi, Quoting the memdisk.doc: Similarly, if you're booting DOS over the network using PXELINUX, you can use the "keeppxe" option and use the generic PXE (UNDI) NDIS network driver, which is part of the PROBOOT.EXE distribution from Intel: Does anyone know what this means? It sounds like a generic network driver for DOS exists. I have a copy of the PROBOOT.EXE, but I can't work

I create a Bootdisk from Win98 with "sys a:" and the netsetup from the Microsoft FTP-server to have TCP/IP under DOS. I can map the shares from Samba to a drive with: "net use d: \\server\win98" The problem is that all long filenames are mangled, but not in the way DOS does it. The Folder "Program Files" does not become "Progra~1" but "Progr~4Z".

Hi I just grabbed an 8gig thumb drive, took disk 1 centos 4 i386, copied the isolinux directory files to my thumbdrive, then ran syslinux -sf /dev/sdc1 on the device plugged it into my laptop and it does not boot. Is there a step(s) I am missing to get a bootable thumbdrive with centos? Thanks, Jerry

Hi all, I'm trying to get a pxeboot server up and running, according to the instructions on the WIKI (http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/PXE/PXE_Setup & http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/PXE/PXE_Setup/Menus) Here's my /tftpboot/pxepxelinux.cfg/default : default menu.c32 prompt 1 timeout 300 ONTIMEOUT local MENU TITLE PXE Menu label Dos Bootdisk MENU LABEL ^Dos bootdisk

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

Hello, I'd be very grateful if someone can help me with the process of creating bootable floppy images to be used with isolinux/memdisk. I usually do the following: label image kernel memdisk append initrd=/bootdisk/image.img floppy (lines in isolinux.cfg file) Sometimes I pass memdisk the c/h/s parameters, depending on the image size. I have learned from this mailing list how to
