[syslinux] merging multiple diskettes for pxelinux usage
I have some hardware vendor diagnostic utilities that I'd like to use via PXE. One example is a three diskette test suite. How can I merge all these diskettes into a single PXE bootable image? I have been using pxelinux, memdisk, and isolinux successfully for other things, so I'm a little embarrased even asking. Is there a way to PXE boot ISO images? Can syslinux support larger than 2.8MB floppy images? I've already merged these utilities into a isolinux CD that is functional, it would be ideal if I could just pxeboot that ISO image, but I'm skeptical as to whether or not thats even possible.

No, PXElinux/Memdisk can only boot diskette or harddisk images. Use the mkdiskimage tool to create one and read in the Archive (the last 3 or 4 Months should contain every info you need about hard disk images...) bye Christian -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQE/MAlF2gF1h3CVOsMRAviSAKDtxzs9H3Qnf+WAO/ZPey3GtJ7rRACeM08N fqR3TtjNUSImqyKYdu5PqJk=uE4x -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
