SYSLINUX 2.01 is mainly a collection of minor fixes. Changes in 2.01: * MEMDISK: Fix memory sizing bug when the ramdisk crosses the 16 MB boundary. * MEMDISK: Add a "pause" option to stop immediately before booting, to read off the messages. * MEMDISK: Support disk images with DOSEMU headers. * Update the mkdiskimage script to handle newer mtools versions, and be able to generate disk images with DOSEMU headers (controlled by the -d option). * Fix the COM32 sample program. * PXELINUX, ISOLINUX: Fix some COMBOOT API calls. * PXELINUX: Doc fix. * Build SYSLINUX into a small library for encapsulation into other programs (however, please keep in mind this is a GPL'd library.) * SYSLINUX: Make installer work with "owner" in /etc/fstab. * SYSLINUX: Fix issue with working on nonpartitioned hard disk devices. THIS CONFIGURATION IS NOT RECOMMENDED. Begin3 Title: syslinux Version: 2.01 Entered-date: 2003-01-31 Description: SYSLINUX is a boot loader for the Linux operating system which operates off MS-DOS floppies. It is intended to simplify first-time installation of Linux, rescue disks, and other uses for boot floppies. A SYSLINUX floppy can be manipulated using standard MS-DOS (or any other OS that can access an MS-DOS filesystem) tools once it has been created; and requires only a ~ 9K DOS program or ~ 19K Linux program to create in the first place. Starting with version 1.46 it also includes PXELINUX, a program to boot off a network server using a boot PROM compatible with the Intel PXE (Pre-Execution Environment) specification. Starting with version 1.60 it also includes ISOLINUX, a program to boot off an ISO 9660 in native "no-emulation" mode. Starting with version 1.65, it additionally includes MEMDISK, a tool to boot legacy operating systems from nontraditional media like PXE or CD-ROM.
