2.05 is mostly a bug fix/maintenance release. Changes in 2.05: * PXELINUX: Add a default query based on the hardware address of the boot device. This is in lower case hexadecimal form separated by dashes and including the hardware type, for example, the Ethernet (type 1) address 88:99:AA:BB:CC:DD would query the file pxelinux.cfg/01-88-99-aa-bb-cc-dd. * PXELINUX: Fix bug involving non-IP-based config file names. * SYSLINUX: New installer for WinNT-based systems, from Lars Munch. * MEMDISK: Fix handling of memory region overlap when decompressing. Thanks to Mikhail Kupchik for identifying the problem. Begin3 Title: syslinux Version: 2.05 Entered-date: 2003-07-16 Description: SYSLINUX is a collection of boot loaders for the Linux operating system which operates off MS-DOS floppies, network servers using PXE firmware, or from CD-ROMs. 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 very small DOS or Linux program to create in the first place. It also includes MEMDISK, a tool to boot legacy operating systems from nontraditional media like PXE or CD-ROM.
