2.13: Bug fixes for the 2.12 release. 2.12: Add a C runtime library for writing COM32 applications; minor improvements. Changes in 2.13: * MEMDISK: Fix command-line parsing "brown paper bag" class bug. * MEMDISK: Add "raw" mode to support the DOS boot disk from WinME/XP, which seems to deliberately crash the system when someone uses the "INT 15h mover" highmem API. * Make "make install" do something sane for the com32 development environment. * In the spec file, create a separate -devel RPM for the com32 development environment. Changes in 2.12: * Simple C library, based on klibc, for writing COM32 programs. * Fix the handling of file length in loading of COM32 programs. * MEMDISK: Work around a linker bug by rearranging the code to not use the linker for the 16-bit code. * SYSLINUX: If we're building on a machine without a Win32 (mingw) compiler, just skip building syslinux.exe. * ISOLINUX: Support non-mkisofs mastering programs, at least as long as the image is single-session. For best results, ISOLINUX should be the only boot loader installed. * MEMDISK: Allow the user to specify that the simulated disk should be write-protected. Begin3 Title: syslinux Version: 2.13 Entered-date: 2004-12-14 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.
