2.07 is a bug fix release. Changes in 2.07: * MEMDISK: Workaround for BIOSes which go into a snit when they get a RESET command for the floppy system when there is no floppy in the system. * PXELINUX: Add "ipappend 2", which passes the hardware address of the boot interface to the kernel as a command-line option. * mkdiskimage: fix the generation of the end limit. * PXELINUX: Fix multiple bugs in chainloading of other NBPs. * MEMDISK: Fix bug that would occationally cause "ran out of input data" when using compressed disk images. * SYSLINUX: Updates for the win32 installer (from Lars Munch.) * PXELINUX: PXELINUX-specific options are now recognized both in a vendor-option-space (a.k.a. type 43 encapsulated) as well as in a site-option-space (unencapsulated.) * COM32: Don't crash when DS != 0. * COMBOOT/COM32: Make file reading work correctly. Thanks to Phung Chi Kien for submitting a test program. Begin3 Title: syslinux Version: 2.07 Entered-date: 2003-11-22 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.
