since a few of you asked what I use it for...since I'm not a unix person.. I started using it back in 2002...to update hard drives that used a 'superfloppy format' (if anyone remembers the old DigitalWallet from Minds at work!) I fixed several of them after the company went belly up for photographer friends of mine. I mostly use it to do HD maintance...fixing fats...restoring backup

PS (addendum to my previous answer) I found the message announcing it in the archives: http://www.syslinux.org/archives/2002-February/000103.html However it is not available from the repository: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/1.xx/ Didier

I don't know how you got that but syslinux 1.67 was released more than 13 years ago and AFAIK never distributed as an ISO, at least by the project. I suggest that you tell us what

Hi all, new to this list ;) I have a Lenovo Thinkpad T61. lspci|grep VGA says: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation Quadro NVS 140M (rev a1) I have Slacware64-13.0 and Slackware64-current installed. Nouveau is modularized in all my kernels for -current. A problem arise even if I don't want to use nouveau under X: unless nouveau be blacklisted in

Precis: I?m trying to debug a problem with CentOS7 failing to install from an ISO written to a USB pendrive ? anyone got suggestions? What works ? installing on a modern, ?standard PC?; the pendrive image boots and installs as I expect What does not work ? same pendrive booting in an ATCA blade. What I?ve tried is? 1. Boot the standard CentOS7 minimal image. This seems to start but then

Hi all, I have requested tests of this USB installer: http://slint.fr/testing/slint64-14.1_syslinux.6.03.img in both BIOS and UEFI modes. A test in UEFI mode: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/%5Bann%5D-syslinux-6-03-has-been-released-4175521209/#post5270515 leaded to this message: "Cannot relocate kernel, bailing out" That leaded me to this post in the ML:

Thank you all very much!! ~Pat

Hi there. Slackware's installer, that I am internationalizing, makes use of ISOLINUX. I want to give instructions to users in other languages than US English, e.g. which code to type to see installation messages in their native language. So my question are: (1) Which character encodings can be used in message.txt and f1.txt through f1O.txt? (2) Is UTF-8 allowed? (3) I'm guessing that

Thanks for all the input everyone. I can understand the problem more clearly now.
