In Syslinux 6.03-pre6: _ The txt/html/*.html files are currently created 3 times, one for each firmware. I think they should be created only once (under the main txt/html/ directory), just as the rest of the documentation is. In that case, the <respective_firmware>/txt/html/ subdirectories should not even be created. _ The bios/dosutil/ directory contains copybs.com and eltorito.sys, while the efi32/ and efi64/ don't, which is expected. OTOH, mdiskchk.com is being created under the main dosutil/ directory. I think that 'mdiskchk.com' should be created under the bios/dosutil/ subdirectory, just as copybs.com and eltorito.sys are. I am unsure whether 'dosutil/README' and 'dosutil/eltorito.txt' should be also copied to 'bios/dosutil/' when building. Regards, Ady.

If this module is still relevant in 6.xx (which I don't really know), I wonder whether perhaps there should be a better location to the /memdump/ (sources of memdump.com) directory. TIA, Ady.

Building under only bios/ is a quick fix.> > _ The bios/dosutil/ directory contains copybs.com and eltorito.sys, > > while the efi32/ and efi64/ don't, which is expected.

The closest alternative is to try copying to the bios/ path.> I am adding one more: > > _ If I am not mistaken, bios/memdump/memdump.com is a comboot16 > module(?).
