Modern distributions are moving toward a common boot scheme called "The Boot Loader Specification". This patch enables syslinux to parse the drop-in files that are defined by this new specification.

Any reason why you don't try to implement this in syslinux

Hi, These patches contain support for some features that are already in Syslinux 4 but weren't working properly on the elflink branch. It's another step closer to feature parity with Syslinux 4. Having to jump through the comboot API for localboot support is less than ideal and I'll eventually fix that, probably when we move a big chunk of code from asm to C. Also, there's a

From: Matt Fleming <matt.fleming at linux.intel.com> This is a series of patches that, * shrink the core by moving things into an ldlinux ELF module * begin wiring up some of the C versions of various functions The core now only contains essential code and loads the ldlinux module to do everything else, like providing a command line interface and loading kernels.

The patch was broken. I missed the new core/path.c file. My bad.

Peter, Paulo reported some problems with his config files under ISOLINUX and PXELINUX - basically TIMEOUT and TOTALTIMEOUT were broken. The patches I've pushed to the elflink branch fix this and also fix parsing of the ALLOWOPTIONS config directive.

That is a bigger change but is probably a better solution. How would this solution handle filenames containing spaces? Would we need to escape (presumably with a backslash)

good afternoon. As promised to Mr Cumm few weeks before, I forward you the mail that I had wrongly sent directly to Mr Anvin. This is something I've done for my company usage and I submit it to you. Feel free to include it if you think this can be usefull for others .. Context: In my company, we have several distinct PXE server (depending on the location: europe, asia, ....). each of these

Would someone please be so kind to explain / describe the PXERETRY directive? TIA, Ady.
