2.10: Bug fixes and minor feature improvements. Changes in 2.10: * MEMDISK: Handle images compressed with zip as well as with gzip. Some Windows-based image tools apparently generate these kinds of images by default. Patch by Patrick LoPresti. * Major menu improvement from Murali Ganapathy. * ISOLINUX: Wonderfully sick and brilliant workaround for severe bugs in certain Award BIOSes; from Knut Petersen. * SYSLINUX: Fix for the nomtools installed, from Frederic Pasteleurs. * PXELINUX: Fix handling of IP numbers in the ranges 100-109 and 200-209. * ALL: New option "allowoptions" (defaults to 1), which controls if options are allowed on the command line or not. * SYSLINUX: Support building under klibc (see the klibc distribution for details.) Begin3 Title: syslinux Version: 2.10 Entered-date: 2004-06-18 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.
