similar to: [Patch]: Document 'nopassany' in MEMDISK documentation.

I'm running into an issue which I didn't expect to encounter. When specifying the "nopassany" parameter to hide physical drives, I'm getting different output from ELTORITO.SYS (v1.5, syslinux distro) such that it fails. My intent is a LiveCD functionality with a DOS RAMDISK program taking over as drive C:, meaning either no FAT partitions on harddisks and removable disks

Why doesn't the Windows Syslinux installer show: --offset and --directory too (I know it is not supported)? Because the Linux versions show the Windows/dos specific commands: --mbr --active and --force I didn't check the DOS version. If all options will be displayed unconditionally for all installers, it might be a good idea to add: --offset -t Offset of the file system on the

High all, In WinXP, I have created file "image.iso" using mkisofs, but unable to postprocess with the "isohybrid". I worked as follows: cd F:\syslinux-4.05\utils F:\syslinux-4.05\utils> isohybrid F:\image.iso and received >'isohybrid' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. What next? Thanks in advance.

Hello All- First, my apologies if this is not the correct place/procedure for reporting a bug. I have a Cyberpower 850AVRLCD ups, and I'm running NUT 2.6.0 (and also tried 2.4.1 and 2.4.3). I suspect that the problem I was having would affect anyone using the usbhid-ups driver, but since I have only the one UPS, I don't know for sure. In NUT 2.4.1 the driver starts up OK, and upsc

Hi all, As WinXP begins to loom larger in our environment, we're seeing a consistent pattern that XP machines (mostly XP Professional, possibly others) take an excessively long time to access shared printers: I'm told that it takes up to 5 minutes to initially install the printer on the local machine, and it typically takes around 45 seconds to deliver print jobs to the queue. The print

DRMK (Dell Real Mode Kernel), now used in their DOS-based diagnostic images (probably about 2-4 years), has a rather unusual entry into the IO file (DELLBIO.BIN; similar to IO.SYS and IBMBIO.COM). After fumbling around with it over the last few days, I _think_ I've figured out the quirks of this entry point (and successfully tweaked chain.c32 to do such). dl Usual; drive number bp 0 cs

The following patch for chain.c32 adds support to boot the Recovery Console of Windows NT/2K/XP. Normally when you want to boot the recovery console, you need to patch "cmdcons\0" into the bootsectorof the partition (8 bytes starting at 0x3 (4th byte)). We can do this patching in memory: strcpy((char *) 0x7c03, "cmdcons"); To boot the recovery console with chain.c32:

As the first step, I want to thank everybody involved for making a majorly useful application! Second, here are the problems I see: Bug 1: if DEFAULT is not a tag, but a kernel name, menu.c32 fails loading. Bug 2: When menu.c32 returns to syslinux (on pressing Esc), the splash screen is not shown; Bug 3 or a missing feature: When grub.exe tries to return control to syslinux, it
