Hi all, I have received a fair number of bug reports over the last few weeks -- even days -- and I am therefore declaring 3.53-pre5 a release candidate for a 3.53 bug fix release. This 3.53 will not contain either of the two major features under development -- client side state (including boot-once) and gPXE integration -- since I want to avoid destabilizing the code base beyond the bug

Are there any issues with ext3-2.4-0.0.7 on 2.4.6-pre5? The patch applies with offsets and no rejects. [I need the export reiserfs by knfsd functionality of -pre3 onwards. My intent for the test system is to protect all standard partitions /, /usr, /var with ext3 (easier to revert to ext2 and do OS upgrades) and try a mixture of ext3 and reiserfs for exporting of data and user home partitions.]

The 3.20-pre5 vesamenu works pretty well in ATI (Radeon Mobility M6) and Intel VGA chips (82865G Integrated). Awesome! If I remove the png file, it will fall back to the text mode. Just one more question, I'd like to make this text mode color looks like that default one in menu.c32, but when I use "MENU COLOR ..." to change the setting, it seems no affect. Where am I wrong? If it can

I've setup rsync 3.0.0 pre5 on distrib-coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr (rsync server) and upload the same into mandriva cooker (development distribution).

Hi all, I have released SYSLINUX 3.35-pre5 to the Testing directory; this is a release candidate and I intend to release this as 3.35 early next week unless I hear of any showstopper bugs, so please, pretty please, try it out. http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/Testing/ kernel.org has been overloaded lately, so it might take a while to show up. Changes in 3.35: *

Hi all, I have released SYSLINUX 3.30-pre5. This is the first version in which I think we can consider the graphical menu feature-complete. I would really appreciate any and all feedback on this particular test release. Also, if you find a machine on which the graphical menu *doesn't* work, I would appreciate knowing: 1. does it correctly fall back to the text menu? 2. what is

Hello all, With SYSLINUX 3.72-pre5 I think it's time to push SYSLINUX 3.72 into release candidate status. Please let me know if there are any bugs I'm forgetting... -hpa

I have released SYSLINUX 3.08-pre5. Sparse files should now work correctly in extlinux. Symlink support still needs to be added, though. -hpa

Hi all, I have just pushed out SYSLINUX 3.55-pre5 and 3.60-pre7. I have decided to give them both release candidate status, with the intent of having a simultaneous 3.55 (bug fixes only) and 3.60 (new functionality) release. Please test them out and let me know how they do. -hpa

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

HPA, I believe I've found a possible bug with /menu. This against the unmodified -pre5 snapshot. SRC: http://www.survivaldisk.com/menutest.c COMPILED: http://www.survivaldisk.com/menutest.com It's easiest explained if you just compile the .c and experience it for yourself, anyways. If you have two submenus nested within each other and then call a third menu it will bring up the

Hi all. Slightly off topic here but I was wondering if anyone here can give me some info on creating a client for an Icecast server. Some months ago I made a simple client (in Java) but was not able to get a reliable glitch free stream and it would only play for a minute or two before the Icecast server would dump the stream with the 'too many errors' complaint. Are there guidelines

Hi All, if memory serves me well I recall some paper comparing the relative success in getting mainstream acceptance (as mainstream as statistics can be) of both R and Octave. I remember vaguely that the fact the development strategies (core team vs one main developer) played a major role in the relative success of the two programs. I tried to find this paper, but my goggle skills are failing
