Hi, Probably too late for the main tracks, but it would be nice to see a syslinux-related presentation at FOSDEM 2012. There are a few tracks where syslinux fits in (Configuration and Systems Management, Embedded, Distribution ?) so it shouldn't be hard to get one or more slots. I enjoyed Peter's presence two years ago and it lead to an uptake of the project (I remember Erwan

Hi, Can we for syslinux 4.05 look to improve the LUA scripting functionality ? Functionality we are looking for is: - accessing filesystem (ext2, fat) - alternatively, access network services (tftp, ftp, http) - creating menu's from LUA - alternatively, generating and reloading syslinux.cfg The use-case would be to create a lua-script that, on boot, can scan eg. a

Hi, Since a --direct-io feature was requested a few times the past decade with little response and the actual patch is quite trivial, I patched both v3.0.9 and master branch and included the patches here. If this functionality is acceptable I don't mind spending the additional effort to update the documentation, etc. Beware that the underlying filesystem needs Direct I/O support,

Hi, As a packager of syslinux, I would like to get rid of the dependency of syslinux on Crypt::PasswdMD5, as it does not ship with RHEL/CentOS by default and therefor is an additional hurdle for people on those distributions to use a more recent syslinux. (I am also involved with the Rear project that relies on a more recent syslinux, and in various corporate environments need a recent

Hi, This must be a FAQ somewhere, although I am unable to find the answer quickly. We would like to have a bootable USB device offer the possibility to boot from the local disk. Unfortunately what happens when using 'chain.c32 hd1' is that GRUB works, but the GRUB configuration refers to it's disk as 'hd0', so booting an entry fails. One has to manually change 'root

Hi, I think I found a problem with syslinux where if you have an entry in the syslinux config file (eg. linux) and you type some additional parameters on the boot-prompt (eg. noacpi) the last character of the prompt is cut off (and missing from /proc/cmdline). This does not seem to happen for the append line in the config file, only for additional parameters on the boot prompt. (I guess it

Hi, Can we use the same image for external links on the wiki as we are using for Trac ? It is much less obtrusive in pieces of text. A gray box with arrow instead of a colorful globe. -- -- dag wieers, dag at wieers.com, http://dag.wieers.com/ -- [Any errors in spelling, tact or fact are transmission errors]

Hi all, I've updated our Team page a bit, added a table for everyone already there. Now I still don't like the fact that we have the distinction between the Core members (whatever that means) and the others. Some have a @centos.org email address, we could use that as a distinction ? I do think we need to make that page exclusive to people that have some sort of responsibility, and

Hi, Going over the wiki some more I noticed that the GettingHelp and Documentation page contain the same type of information and could be merged (and reduced) as well. On the FrontPage it is called "Learn" (which I like) and points to the Documentation page. On top it says "Help" and points to the GettingHelp page. I would prefer to keep the Documentation page (or rename

Hi, Is it possible to rename the CentOS Events tab to simply Events ? The other tabs do not include CentOS either. For a published article today I required a desktop screenshot. However on 1024x768 with a non-fullscreen browser at wiki.centos.org, the number of tabs required me to make the browser-width larger than I liked it to be. Renaming "CentOS Events" to "Events"

Hi, I have been experimenting a bit with lua.c32 and I have created a small lua.c32 wiki page at: http://syslinux.zytor.com/wiki/index.php/Lua.c32 With my minimal knowledge about Lua (and the inconvenience of not being able to copy&paste or edit scripts) I discovered that the dmi module has 2 functions (supported, gettable) and a syslinux module with 1 function (run_command). Do we

Hi guys, I would like to reorganise the general CentOS FAQ. It now has 20 questions about a lot of different things that can be structure much better. I would like to add some questions, but lacking any structure... I would like to make a distinction between the following subjects: - General questions about the CentOS project Answers about what the project is about, why the project

Hi dag! Thx for your reply! So, there will be no release in the near future of centos 5 for Z? At the moment we got a realy small z/linux installation, but i love it. Keeping the TCO as low as we can was necessary to satisfy the decision-maker. So we decided to choos a free linux distribution, centos was a good decicion we thougt. (redhat / fedora was always my favorite flavor *g*) It would

Hi, I constantly find myself fighting the wiki syntax. Today the problem is that I want a TableOfContents that does NOT include the page title. To be honest, I do not understand why the page title (level 1) is included in the TOC, and why it does not appear in the head-title (<head><title>). I found with Google that there is a syntax like: [[TableOfContents(4,2)]] instead of

That is a very good questions and I personally veel very sad that Red Hat chose to do this. RHEL5 (and CentOS 5) are based on development done on Fedora Core 6. Red Hat started off with Fedora Core 6 when creating

Hey, I reworked the HomepageTemplate since the original one was pretty empty. You can find my proposal here: http://wiki.centos.org/HomepageTemplate But to see how it looks properly, I adapted my Homepage to look like it: http://wiki.centos.org/DagWieers I'd like to open a discussion about what items belong on this page and how we can improve it. My aim to include responsibilities,

Hi, I was wondering what's the best standard file extension for zipped DOS disk images and ramdisks. I've been using the following standard: .zi kernels, memtest86, memdisk .igz .img.gz zipped floppy images and ramdisks I'd rather have a different extension for ramdisks, maybe .zim zipped floppy images .zrd zipped ramdisks Any ideas ? It would also be nice if syslinux
