Changes in 3.55: * PXELINUX: as per RFC 5071, PXELINUX no longer requires the use of the magic cookie option (208) for unencapsulated options. Currently it does not require it for vendor-encapsulated options (vendor-option-space) either, but that MAY be reverted in the future if it causes problems. * Documentation text files moved to a common "doc" directory; man pages from the Debian project added to the "man" directory. * Correct bug with self-overlapping memory areas when using the shuffle interface. Begin3 Title: syslinux Version: 3.55 Entered-date: 2008-01-10 Description: SYSLINUX is a collection of boot loaders for the Linux operating system which operates off Linux ext2/3 filesystems, MS-DOS FAT filesystems, network servers using PXE firmware, or from CD-ROMs. The FAT filesystem version can be installed from DOS, NT, or Linux. It includes a sophisticated API for add-on "COM32" modules, including a significant subset of the standard C library. It also includes MEMDISK, a tool to boot legacy operating systems from nontraditional media like PXE or CD-ROM.
