Hello! I've been attempting to add EFI support to a linux live distro (slax), it's built on a syslinux bootloader. I can get EFI to work using menu.c32 on syslinux 6.03; however ideally we'd like the VESA menu as well. When we use the vesamenu.c32 and libcom32.c32 from 6.03 we end up with a blank screen and the machine seems to hang. I've tried adding MENU RESOLUTION based on

Hi, I am trying to track down a ISOLINUX boot problem on my workhorse computer. Booting slax-6.0.0-rc5.iso from www.slax.org (a live distro) from CD gives the following messages: Loading /boot/vmlinuz ........... Loading /boot/initrd.gz ............ Ready. _ Silence. The next message should be, but does not appear: Uncompressing Linux ........... This message appears with the same CD on an old

Hi, Normally i doesn't choose this way to solve problems, but i need a fast and good help because it's really important to me. I would like to boot a LIVE CD, called SLAX (depending on SLACKWARE) over PXElinux. So i've got a server with dhcp,tftp and pxelinux. In the tftp folder are the SLAX files. Now i would like to boot from a client this LIVE CD. Because this is a LIVE CD i

New idea proposal: Currently syslinux (and others) searches in for its config file, say syslinux.cfg, in a hardcoded list of directories. I propose that if the config file is not found, instead of producing an error message like "unable to locate config file", it should try to search in root directories and its subdirectories. There is -d option to install syslinux to any directory

Hello, I wanted to recompile syslinux64.exe (windows 64bit binary) on ubuntu. The default ./find-mingw64.sh script failed to locate mingw64 on ubuntu, even after root at htpc:~# apt-get install gcc-mingw-w64 So I had to patch the script to let it find mingw64 on ubuntu as well. Patch is below, please apply to syslinux sources: --- syslinux-4.05/win64/find-mingw64.sh.orig 2012-08-28

Hello, I'm reporting a bug, see attached syslinux.cfg I'm using submenu entries to emulate checkbox inputs. The idea is simple, there are submenus generated for all possible cases, and each Enter keypress loads appropriate submenu section. The logic of the menu is correct. Just syslinux has some bug. It doesn't set MENU DEFAULT properly for all submenus. If your first Enter keypress

This is an operating system question, but it is with the intent of using R on that operating system. I have an ibook G4 Power PC that I am going to install linux on. Is there a better, worse, or perhaps easier (I am a linux newby migrating from mac) distribution that I should look at. I appreciate your help. I didn't post this in the sig-mac because I don't know if it fits there better

Hi All Newbie to wine here :) I have installed wine, and can get notepad and winemine up, but when I do, I get a painfully long list of messages and then it goes into Font Metrics 1.1% - Font Metrics 1.2% untill we eventually get to 100%. I also tried to run File Maker Pro 5 for windows, however the window opened and just hung for about 15 mins before I killed the process. I have checked the

I just encountered my only bug w/ the ISOLINUX+VESAMENU combination from 3.52-pre5. Updated a *working* CD project w/ the new ISOLINUX+VESAMENU combo just last week. Booting my preferred Linux distro (Slax-6) from my custom CDs work perfectly, however when I updated a CD project that includes BartPE/WinPE, BartPE fails to boot w/ 'CDBoot can not boot CD: error 4" msg. For the

Hi, My workstation is running CentOS 7 on two disks (sda and sdb) in a software RAID 1 setup. It looks like I accidentally nuked it. I wanted to write an installation ISO file to a USB disk, and instead of typing dd if=install.iso of=/dev/sdc I typed /dev/sdb. As soon as I hit <Enter>, the screen froze. I tried a hard reset, but of course, the boot process would stop short very early in

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 If I do: rm -r ~/.wine/ wineprefixcreate wine explorer /desktop=default,1200x900 winemine Then winemine opens in its own window. It does not open inside a fake desktop, which is what explorer /desktop is supposed to do. However, if I close winemine and run the same command again wine explorer /desktop=default,1200x900 winemine I get the correct

I got HD audio baised on Realtek, I have installed appropirate drivers from realtek website, they work in Slax, but they don't work with WINE. When i go to AUDIO card in WINE its says no_audio, what could be wrong?

If 'msdos' filesystem is not compiled in Kernel (and I don't have the msdos.ko module neither), then syslinux refuses to work. Is it possible to fix syslinux to try more filesystems, not only msdos? Or is it possible to call the mount command somehow without filesystem option at all, so the kernel (or whatever) will decide itself what filesystem to use? Thank you for

I've got wine 0.9.57 and installed directx 9.0 but it seems doesnt work. I've installed new ati drivers, new audio drivers.

I installed office 2007 using this howto over on the ubuntu forum http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1102840 Everything went great. The programs run and seem to work fine, except that the old issue of wine not rendering fonts right occurs. This issue is documented here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1009930 The solution is to add "ClientSideWithRender"="N"

Hi, In my daily work I'm mainly using USB keys for work : one with CentOS 7, one with OpenSUSE Leap 15.1, one with Slax Live for data recovery purposes, one with Ghost4Linux and one with FreeDOS which I use for flashing the odd BIOS. Last week I bought a set of three flashy colored USB keys in a local shop. To my surprise, none of them seem to be able to boot anything. When I write a

I am completely new to Linux and Wine. I've tried to make Wine work since some 1999, but never had patience with it. Tried reading guides, manuals and so on, but things did not work. All Linux versions I've tried have never run any windows-based programs after I installed Wine (and used to install a propper version of wine - that corresponds to Linux version) - what I did is what is said
