Syslinux should work fine with UEFI (it does for me), and if for some reason you

Hello everyone, I am trying to prepare a UEFI bootable thumb drive using syslinux and Linux foundations PreLoader.efi. I started the same as as it works with gummiboot-42: * Copy PRELOADER.EFI to EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI * Copy HASHTOOL.EFI to EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI * Copy gummibootx64.efi to EFI/BOOT/LOADER.EFI With just those files PreLoader asks to enroll gummiboot's hash. I do so and

I want to be able to make a USBbootStik for my laptop, as I repeatedly did for the now stolen PC. I've got a copy of the required 2009, Slackware13 partition, saved to a USBdisk. And I've located the 175-line: <make bootStik script> . Of course just "chroot"ing Slak13, won't allow <make bootStik>. But why can't someone here, provide the info to make an

I have not looked into it all that much. But seems that UEFI basically allows booting without a bootloader. Here is some gentoo wiki info in it: http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/EFI_stub_kernel And Greg Kroah-Hartman talking about it a bit: http://kroah.com/log/blog/2013/09/02/booting-a-self-signed-linux-kernel/ I am looking forward to making a little HOWTO, for this subject and also for using

Hi all, Thanks for all your hard work! I was particularly excited to see FIDO/U2F support in the latest release. I'd like to make the following bug report in ssh-agent's PKCS#11 support: Steps to reproduce: 1. Configure a smart card (e.g. Yubikey in PIV mode) as an SSH key. 2. Add that key to ssh-agent. 3. Remove that key from ssh-agent. 4. Add that key to ssh-agent. Expected results:

Hi all, We're using the classic boot BIOS syslinux successfully for many years, but meanwhile it's getting harder to buy hardware the still supports this boot mode. The option for us would be syslinux EFI boot. To avoid too many changes we would like to generate an image for our different hardware parts that supports both - classic BIOS boot and (U)EFI boot. This would allow us to leave

When a USBstiked-syslinux starts, it's the PC's firmare that's reading the USB ? But once the USBsyslinux takes over, has IT also got a USB driver? Since my MotherBoard & 2009 Slackware built USBstik syslinux booter were stolen I bought a <WinTel> laptop and USBextender to access my old IDE & SATA disks. With WinTel's new arrangement of not allowing the tail of the

We are a very small company and moved from WinTel environment to Linux. Killed the WinTel file/print server and implemented SAMBA om Red Hat 7.2. I have some users that need to print to a RICOH Aficio 4106 printer. When I go through the sequence to add printer ...... it appears to install, but the people cannot print. Can anyone walk me through steps as I am novice...... and I do not want to go

Here's a question that may seem strange. Does the echo canceller maintain some data structure that I might be able to use if I wanted to estimate the amount of delay between the near-end and far-end signals? I'd like to be able to do this in order to optimally align the signals before passing them to the canceller. There seem to be many milliseconds of latency in a Wintel audio subsystem

What are advantages of using Winelib to port instead of rewriting it entirely in Java?

Dear R community, I wrote and someone else helped me type a 5-page R-info in Chinese, covering the most basic information on how to get and install and start using R on Wintel PC. This could serve those not fluent in/intimidated by English but want to start using R. (I met a lot of those in China) <http://www.ms.uky.edu/~mai/ZhongWen.htm> also a MSword version of the same (may print

Dear all. I am trying to buy a hp server to run R and to complete some other tasks with limited bugets. The r-project.org site recommended that R will run on hppa-hp-hpux. However this system is out of our buget and ML system from hp is much cheaper. Is there anybody running R on ML370 or ML 570 systems? If you can provide me with some other information related that will be appreciated.

All, Can anyone confirm that Samba/Solaris will integrate with TSM (Tivoli Storage Manager) when deployed into a Wintel client environment. ie. Solaris/Samba as a TSM client - we need to be sure that the ACL's will be maintained correctly via a TSM backup/restore (full or partial) Or confirm this does not work, which is not what we want to hear - but the truth will suffice. Many thanks,

Hi, everyone, I was downloading the rm0641b.zip etc. (thanks to Guido Masarotto and Brian Ripley) I noticed rw0641sp.zip there, which do not seem mentioned in the News file. My guess is that it is not a binary file? Is is a source patch file(?) for compiling on Wintel PC?

Previously I've been using a laptop with an "Aptio Setup Utility...2015" to "Disable UEFI Boot" and allow a USBstik with partition1 having: /boot/isolinux/isolinux.bin , isolinux.cfg , menu.c32...etc. to boot 64bit TinyCore. Now this newer laptop has: "Aptio Setup Utility...2018" which is completely different from the 2015 version. I fail to boot linux from

We migrated our entire domain over to a samba3 domain, now I would like to apply a few policies to the network. I've been reading a few migration papers, most mention about a .POL file which is created upon exporting policy keys on a wintel machine. Using gpedit I don't see an export option. What tool should I use for this? greg

Hi All, We are using samba with an Active Directory Server running on windows 2000. Our wintel administrators will upgrade the Active Directory Server to Windows 2003. What will be the consequences on our current samba servers ? Regards, Beno?t.

Hi, Is real-time possible with the current java-based JSpeex for real-time full duplex voice communication? If yes, can you please also provide some details of the Wintel (Windows on Intel) specifications that you have used to achieve that, and perhaps the JSpeex encoding/decoding specs used? Thanks.
