From: "H. Peter Anvin" <hpa@transmeta.com> Subject: SYSLINUX 1.32 boot loader released Date: Mon, 16 Feb 1998 15:40:32 GMT -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- SYSLINUX is a boot loader specially designed for floppies; it boots straight off a MS-DOS filesystem. It is used, among other uses, by many Linux distributions for their install floppies. This version, 1.32, supports FAT16 as well as FAT12, for better support of new large-size removable media like LS-120 and Zip. Like 1.31, this version now builds in a Linux environment and contains both DOS and Linux installers. Begin3 Title: syslinux Version: 1.32 Entered-date: 13FEB1998 Description: SYSLINUX is a boot loader for the Linux operating system which operates off MS-DOS floppies. 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 < 6K DOS program or < 12 K Linux program to create in the first place. This version supports both FAT12 and FAT16. Keywords: syslinux msdos boot loader floppy install Author: hpa@zytor.com (H. Peter Anvin) Maintained-by: hpa@zytor.com (H.
