Changes in 1.60: * Add support for graphical splash screens. * Add mode control characters, which allows you to control message display output depending on output mode (text, graphics, or serial port.) * ISOLINUX: New program, which boots Linux from a CD-ROM without using floppy emulation mode. See isolinux.doc for more details. * PXELINUX: Don't search for boot sector file types, since they don't work anyway. * SYSLINUX: Document the LOCK command for Win9x, and the error dialog box for WinNT/2K. Begin3 Title: syslinux Version: 1.60 Entered-date: 2001-04-10 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 ~ 8K DOS program or ~ 16K 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.
