Changes in 3.72: * Include the pxechain.com module from Jeffery Hutzelman at Carnegie Mellon University. This allows chaining another PXE boot program while changing the DHCP packet passed to it. * Reorganize the Makefile system. * Major PCI core cleanups and other source cleanup. * gPXE code updated. * Try to avoid memory-snooping attacks on passwords. Note that if someone has root on the box, they generally don't need to compromise the boot loader... * ISOLINUX: fix crash when given a zero-length file. * sdi.c32: support gzipped SDI images. * ISOLINUX: support generating images which can be either a CD-ROM or a hard disk (USB disk, etc.) See doc/isolinux.txt for more information. * Remote gdb support for COM32 modules; patch from Stefan Hajnoczi. * Support beeps in F-key help in the simple menu system. * Tab display of labels, based on a patch from Sebastian Herbszt. Can be disabled with the NOCOMPLETE configuration command. * "menu default" can now be specified after "menu begin", to indicate that a specific submenu should be the default entry. Begin3 Title: syslinux Version: 3.72 Entered-date: 2008-09-25 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.
