This release will be more or less what will be included in the incoming syslinux 3.84. Since -pre1, here come the Changelog * Reporting CPU L1 & L2 cache * Report "Hw.Virt" in cpu

Hi Erwan, I finally reviewed the latest HDT 0.3.6 on a few systems (IBM x3650, hs20 and VMware 3.5 guests). = IBM x3650 On the IBM x3650 (using a remote web-based KVM solution) the window blanking (cleaning a window with black before rewriting it with gray/blue content) is very noticable. It would be less of a problem when the window would not be cleared (or at least not with black :-))

Good morning, Now that hdt is capable of dumping system information it would be nice if there was some sort of filtering system which filters out unwanted information prior to dumping output. For example one could add the command: append nomenu auto=dump mac_address serial_number bios_version; And ultimately dumping output to a plain text file like: mac_address : 00:11:22:33:44 serial_number :

As result of a long work of Pierre, we are now on the track of releasing HDT-0.3.5. This -pre1 release includes new features that needs to be tested widely to insure that we didn't introduced new bugs. As a menu, we have: - bootloader detection In the disk menu, the "show disks" command reports the detected bootloader. - Cmenu now uses the libansi This improves the rendering and

HDT 0.3.4 has just been released. Since April, due to some important changes, HDT was no more in sync with Syslinux. The 0.3.4 release will solve that major issue and will be part of Syslinux-3.83-pre8. Beside this syncing with Syslinux, this release aims at solving disk's detection bugs and improving the DMI reporting. I would like to thank pam for that though work. He did most (who

Hello all: I just downloaded and built syslinux-3.74-pre11 and installed it. I set it to boot and run on the serial port/serial console and when I switch to menu mode (by typing "menu" at the boot: prompt), it works. In the older version I got the upper left corner of the dialog box drawn and that was it. So that is terrific, thanks. However when I am on the serial console and I run

The -pre3 release is out and tends to be the last one before the release. This pre version adds two new features we thought it would be interesting to have in 0.3.5: - Reboot If your system features the reboot.c32 module, the "reboot" command will restart your computer. The floppy/iso images we provides includes this module to enable this feature. - Automatic Commands When starting

Hello ! The first public release of the newest 0.3.x branch is out !

A huge work from pam to rework the CLI. The code is far more scalable and easy to use for developers to extend it.

It is now possible to build a bootable floppy image which contains HDT, with my patch applied to Erwans HDT branch: http://git.zytor.com/?p=users/erwan/hdt.git;a=commit;h=16b37fe2266c920087f88cdec94243b71218d871 Unpack the Syslinux archive and build whole Syslinux first, then cd to ./com32/hdt/ and make hdt.img $ make $ cd ./com32/hdt/ $ make hdt.img Now you have a 2.88 MB floppy image which

Just a quick note to tell that I did release HDT 0.5.0. Main feature of this release is the dumping of the detected components over TFTP (meaning PXE is _mandatory_ to work). I did fix also the auto mode where more combinations didn't worked as expected. I invite people reading this page that speaks about the dump feature : http://www.hdt-project.org/wiki/Dump But also, this one which
