Re: [Etherboot-users] Boot menu ?

[Marty C. <md...@et...>]

Dinesh,

You need to do a better job asking for help.  You provide very little 
in the way of information, and then you literally beg for help.

I applaud Alexander for helping you, but I also think that you need to 
do more work on your own to try and figure things out.

If you are having trouble with SYSLINUX/PXELINUX, then at least 
demonstrate that you have read (or attempted to read) the 
documentation.  There is also a mailing list for help specifically with 
that software, if you can't figure out the documentation or examples.

Also, in debugging, you should attempt to create simple test cases, and 
when they fail, send input, output, and what you thought should happen 
to the list for analysis.  Otherwise, all we can do is guess what might 
be happening.

I want to encourage you to proceed, but I also want to strongly suggest 
that if you want help, you need to show that the time of the people 
trying to help you is not wasted.  You can do this by showing that 
progress you have made, by producing output, and explaining in more 
detail what you did.

If your English skills are a problem, please find a friend who has 
better skills, and have them help you, in exchange for help with 
something they need help with.

I hope you succeed, but even more I hope that in this process you 
develop better debugging skills, and improve your methods of asking for 
help.

Regards,

Marty
