Changes in 2.03: * Actually support comment lines in the configuration file. * PXELINUX: Try to resolve some problems with stack switches. * PXELINUX: Handle PXE stacks with broken routing. With these workarounds, the remote install PXE boot floppy (rbfg.exe) from Argon Technologies should work correctly. * Fix problems with Perl scripts in UTF-8 locales. * You probably need NASM 0.98.34 or later to compile this version. 0.98.36 is recommended. * MEMDISK: Now supports gzip compressed images. Begin3 Title: syslinux Version: 2.03 Entered-date: 2003-04-10 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 ~ 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.
