Okay, I think I've gotten enough of my TODO list chewed up that I think this version is a 1.40. Since 1.30, there are a large number of new features, including localization, foreign operating systems, FAT16 support, LS-120 support, hard disk support and many more; please see the NEWS file. Changes in 1.40: (since 1.37) * Increase A20M delay and put in a test to avoid problems on certain IBM Thinkpads (thanks to Donnie Barnes of RedHat for vital info on this one.) * Support COMBOOT style boot command images. * Support chain loading (foreign operating systems, e.g. DOS). * Include a new "copybs" DOS utility to copy a boot sector to a file (under Linux, use "dd".) * Fix the DOS installer to work for disks over 32 MB. * SYSLINUX should now handle disks with more than 65536 tracks. Begin3 Title: syslinux Version: 1.40 Entered-date: 07MAY98 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 ~ 7K DOS program or ~ 13K Linux program to create in the first place.
