Syslinux 3.83 is a minor new feature release. Changes in 3.83: * PXELINUX: clear memory before handing over to a chainloaded NBP. This may help avoid a bug in Windows RIS. * PXELINUX: fix localboot after NBP chainloading on certain BIOSes (including ASUS A8N-E, but possibly others.) * chain.c32: support chainloaded bootloaders on ISOLINUX. * PXELINUX: allow filenames up to 251 characters. * MEMDISK: fix problems booting from USB on Thinkpads, and possibly other machines or hardware combinations. * isohybrid: fix the -id option. * HDT: updated to version 0.3.4. * MEMDISK: the stack size is now configurable, with the stack= option. * Simple menu: fix Ctrl-W (word erase) in command-line edit. * Simple menu: fix crash on some platforms. * Gfxboot: fixes to the configuration file parsing. * PXELINUX: add a tool to override specific DHCP options via values hardcoded in the pxelinux.0 file. These hardcoded values can be either "before DHCP" (defaults if DHCP do not provide values), or "after DHCP" (overrides DHCP). The tool pxelinux-options can be used to set these options. This feature does not apply to gpxelinux.0; when used with gPXE this is better handled by modifying the embedded script. Begin3 Title: syslinux Version: 3.83 Entered-date: 2009-10-05 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. This version includes gPXE, to allow accessing network files via other protocols than TFTP.
