[syslinux] [PATCH] I attach two patches correcting documentation and I have a few questions
I post this to the mailing list, but perhaps is not the good place. I'm not subscribed, so I don't know if I'm going to get any reply, but please, tell me where to send patches. I attach two patches that correctly describes the new support for F11 and F12 in documentation but I have two more question to update documentation accordingly. In doc/syslinux.txt line 515, talking about Command Line Keystrokes, could be correct to add the [TAB] keystroke as a command completion? And second, in doc/pxelinux.txt line 408 it says: "Requires a TFTP server which supports the "tsize" option." But in change log for the 3.70 version (online at http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/boot/syslinux/syslinux-3.70.lsm) you can read "PXELINUX: We no longer require a TFTP server which supports the tsize option for all transfers." Does that mean that we can delete this requirement from doc/pxelinux.txt or ther's still some transfers that needs this tftp option? Thanks in advance. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

- Dmesg log for 2.6.31-rc8 kernel been built on F12 (rawhide) vs log for same kernel been built on F11 and installed on F12
- choose() function returning anomalous results (zero instead of one)
- eigenvalues of matrices of partial derivatives with ryacas
