Hi, I have just joined the list. I am the original creator of Puppy Linux, now letting other guys take the reins, and I am working on a fork of Puppy called Quirky Linux, where I try various experimental ideas. Up until now, in Puppy and all offshoots, we have used syslinux 4.05 or older. Over the last few days I have been testing 6.03 (using the binary DEBs from Ubuntu 14.10 Utopic Unicorn),

Hi, this patch is not a finished job; It fixes some regression issues but it displays some other ones. It initially deals with the correct migration (asm to C ) of the lss16 parser code at core/graphics.c referenced here: http://bugzilla.syslinux.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10 There were some emails with reports, and a couple of emails with some (incomplete, and erroneous) attempt to solve the issue.

G'day, I created a file to add mime-type detection for lss16 images... All you need to do is put it (unzipped) in /usr/share/mime/packages (or your equivalent) and run: update-mime-database -V /usr/share/mime Then you can just associate lss images with Mtpaint, to make life easier... Note: - I didn't know about the name (lss vs. lss16), so I just went by what the "file"

Dear gentlemen, this is just a marginal quirk... I've been using a graphical logo at the pxelinux prompt in our LAN for many years. It's always been the same LSS16 picture, and it's always been working fine. I've been using pxelinux 3.53 until recently. Right now I'm in the process of introducing "UEFI netboot" into our LAN, and also the diskless boot into

Hi! I'm trying to create a custom logo for syslinux but keep bumping my head on the conversion to LSS16. The sample syslogo.png works fine so I decided to start with a known quantity by loading it into the Gimp. I cleared the canvas, color filled a blue background (0x000033) placed some yellow letters on the blue (0xffff00) and saved the file back out with the default compression. The

Hi, the display of LSS16 files from a DISPLAY file (as documented in http://www.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php/SYSLINUX#Display_graphic_from_filename:) seems heavily broken since syslinux has been converted from assembler to C. I already discovered one bug in core/include/graphics.h (and core/graphics.c): the pointer VGAFilePtr is of type uint16_t*, but should be plain char*. This bug causes the

Is there a non pae version of this repack available?

I have used syslinux 4.0x and earlier for many years, with Puppy Linux and more recently Quirky Linux. Though, my knowledge of all the capabilities of syslinux remains rudimentary. I am new to UEFI. I recently got my hands on a win8.1 laptop, 64-bit system, and decided to tackle booting Quirky on it, from a USB stick. I turned off Secure Boot. I wrote /usr/share/syslinux/gptmbr.bin to the flash

Good Evening: We've been using SysLinux in our admin class in college as part of a KickStart package designed to overcome multiple-use constraints in our computer lab (just pop the floppy in and suck the OS out of the server...). I have attempted to find out about the LSS16 file format you mentioned as part of your discussion of the DISPLAY format. We'd just love to use a cute

I'm running a CentOS 6.5 chroot to build Pale Moon (a Firefox fork) for older machines running distros like Puppy linux. Before anyone asks... * Yes, even though the older machines are using "ancient" glibc, etc, they do have security patches back-ported, e.g. http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=90461 "Lucid Puppy Revitalized as 5.2.8.7 - December,

Hello sylvian Thanks. I use kernel 2.4.3 so far, and the Linux Progress Patch seems to start at 2.4.13.... What I don't understand is, why the kernel whipes out the VGA-display, as both Syslinux and the kernel is setup for serial-console. best regards ole at danelec.dk * danelec electronics a/s * Blokken 44 * DK-3460 Birkeroed * DENMARK * Phone: +45 45821879 * Fax: +45 45821979 *

Ady, Thanks for taking the time to respond to my lengthy post.

Hello I am trying to get a graphical-image(lss16) to be displayed during the booting of kernel and filesystem.

I would like to to know about conversion from jpg file to lss format. I used ppmtolss16. It is giving following errors. for .jpg file: ppmtolss16: stdin is not a raw PPM file at ppmtolss16 line 105, <STDIN> line 1. for .png files: ppmtolss16: stdin is not a raw PPM file at ppmtolss16 line 105, <STDIN> line 1. from .ppm file: ( I converted .jpg file in to .ppm file using irfanview)

Hello, it took me some time until I found out how to make _working_ .lss files for syslinux. So, here is the (rough) howto, maybe you like to include it in an FAQ. - Use a paint tool "gimp" (if you know how to handle it) to create the boot logo, keep in mind that it will have (at the end) only 16 color. - make sure it has 640 width. - save it as gif <black magic> - use the
