similar to: SYSLINUX 3.74-pre17: (hopefully final) release candidate

Well, here it is. This is a historic Syslinux release -- it's the first one in 15 years in which the majority of the work was not done by myself; mostly because of the *huge* effort Erwan and Pierre have put in on HDT. I also want to give a special thank you to my new(ish) employer, Intel Corporation, for letting me continue to work on Syslinux. :) From here, onward and upward. I

3.75 is a bug fix release for 3.74. Changes in 3.75: * PXELINUX: fix the "keeppxe" option, which was broken in 3.74. * MEMDISK: correct the extraction of geometry information from the MBR of a hard disk image, again broken in 3.74. * extlinux(1) man page from Brian Pellin. * Simple menu: MENU SAVE is now controllable on a menu-by-menu

I have pushed out what I hope to be the last release candidate for Syslinux 4.04. Please test it if you have the chance as I would like to have 4.04 out as soon as possible. -hpa -- H. Peter Anvin, Intel Open Source Technology Center I work for Intel. I don't speak on their behalf.

Included 3 patches that updates documentation. This completes a 5 patches set. If you prefer me to resend all of then as one patch, attached, discussing or whatever, your're welcome.

Especially you who are doing large-scale network booting, please try out 4.10-pre17 *and report the results*. I'm hoping with Gene Cumm's fixes that we have can promote this to a full release shortly, but I really need test reports -- good or bad. -hpa -- H.

Hi, I finally managed to test pxelinux 4.10 pre17 in our VMware environment and can report that HTTP booting seems to work reliably now. Downloads are fairly fast. As a side note, rosh "ls" and "pwd" commands now work as expected with a HTTP TFTP prefix, cool! I'll leave it in production use now and report about any further issues. Can you already tell when a 4.10

Hello, I have been testing James'' GPLPV drivers and found excellent performance when using iperf but have been having issues when trying to download a file from a shared folder on my Windows 2003 Enterprise HVM to any other system whether it is linux or windows. Basically my initial iperf tests were showing 937Mbits/sec down and 345Mbits/sec up but when I try to copy a 2GB file

My bad. I tried again, and in 4.07 we do get further. We couldn't boot all the way because, it seems, using

Just a small fix: if #ifdef is given multiple arguments, it only evaluates the first and ignores the rest of the line... Also added #include <string.h> to prevent compiler warning about strncmp in login. enjoy, -dagraz --- bsd-login.c.orig Thu Dec 9 14:52:27 1999 +++ bsd-login.c Thu Dec 9 14:58:42 1999 @@ -52,6 +52,7 @@ # include <utmp.h> #endif #include <stdio.h>

Hey Folks, It seems that Homebrew for some reason arbitrarily decided to banish all of the --devel flavors from all of their installable packages.  I couldn't find any discussion as to why or what they intend to replace the function with. **update;  this is where they decided to do this; https://github.com/Homebrew/brew/pull/5060#issuecomment-428149176 But in the meantime, 1.1pre17 is

Hi, thanks for writing cptime, after manually adding it to the Makefile of a lwip git checkout it compiled fine (same about prdhcp) (only isohybrid complained about a missing uuid/uuid.h)... I have a 64bit VM with VMXNET3 and go there this result: [image: cptime.png] (can everybody see the picture?) The download of a 180MB large file (Parted Magic initrd) takes between 60 and 72 seconds,

If I understand the issue correctly, is it that pxelinux.0 does not have a network stack and

This is an attempt to avoid potential confusion. Here are some example sizes for the two Syslinux versions mentioned in the e-mail subject.

Hello everybody, setting up a netboot server for a really huge network I decided to go with what will be syslinux 4.10 to get support for http transfers. The setup works on my notebook, booting another notebook directly connected. However it fails with a more complex setup: A virtual machine on the second notebook bridged to the ethernet device does not boot, systems from other networks with a

Shantanu, let's continue here. You first noticed this on a Dell OptiPlex 755. I think it covers all Dell OptiPlex/Latitude/Precision models that are PCIe based with Intel LoM (LAN on motherboard) utilizing the BIOS PXE OROM, based on the similarity of these systems. The symptoms are that PXELINUX requests pxelinux.cfg/<UUID> by TFTP (but it might not strictly be a TFTP issue) when not
