[Devil-linux-develop] [fmII] Syslinux 1.75-pre1 released (Test branch)

[<no...@fr...>]

This email is to inform you of release '1.75-pre1' of 'Syslinux' through
freshmeat.net. All URLs and other useful information can be found at

The changes in this release are as follows:
This release attempts to deal better with systems on which floppy boot
is either slow or unreliable with plain SYSLINUX. This particularly
applies to extended-capacity floppy formats.

Project description:
SYSLINUX is a boot loader for the Linux operating system which
operates off of 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 it in the first place. 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, ISOLINUX, a
program to boot off ISO 9660 CD-ROMs in native mode, and MEMDISK, a
tool to boot legacy operating systems (e.g. DOS) using a Linux boot
loader regardless of medium.
