1.63 is a bugfix release, affecting all components. Changes in 1.63: * Make the ppmtolss16 program handle color conversion more correctly. * Clean up "make install" target, honour INSTALLROOT if it exists. * SYSLINUX: Fix stack-smash bug identified by Steffen Winterfeldt. * Hopefully fix return-to-text-mode on some graphics cards. * ISOLINUX: Bug workaround for Award BIOS 4.51, and perhaps other buggy BIOSes as well. Begin3 Title: syslinux Version: 1.63 Entered-date: 2001-08-04 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.
