I have just released SYSLINUX 2.09-pre4 with a few changes: a) SYSLINUX should now correctly handle mode changes from within a COMBOOT program. b) Tweaks to the menu system to avoid the "grey text on black" problem. c) A new color scheme for the menu system (Murali, check it out and see if you think it works for you.) ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/Testing/ Please test it out, everyone... -hpa

I have re-uploaded the right one, the proper sizes should be: 376005 Feb 2 22:17 syslinux-2.09-pre4.tar.bz2 448531 Feb 2 22:17 syslinux-2.09-pre4.tar.gz 561355 Feb 2 22:18 syslinux-2.09-pre4.zip -hpa

I ended up making a 2.09-pre5 anyway :) It seems that the API function "get key without echo" was really "get key *with* echo"... fixed. Oops! -hpa
I snagged the -pre5 snapshot, compiled and installed pxelinux.0, simple.com and complex.com I am no longer getting the grey text bug on the PC's. The new colour scheme looks very schmick! http://www.survivaldisk.com/newmenu.jpg -----Original Message----- From: H.
