Hi, Just found out about ISOLINUX - looks good. I hope to use it in a new version of overfoldix - homepage at computeraddict.fsnet.co.uk/overfoldix/index.htm - and I just need a few questions answered: 1) Is there a limit on the kernel size? ie, does the bootloader and kernel have to fit into a certanin size? 2) Is there a size limit on initrd.gz? Everything is going to run from ram, and I would like to make sure that I can set up a larger initrd than floppy emulation would allow. Does the initrd have to be gzipped? 3) With Syslinux can I replace the bootlogo with my own? Thanks in advance, David dnelson444 at tiscali.co.uk
