* chain.c32: allow "boot" as a drive specificationH. Peter Anvin2008-06-301-0/+3
| | | | | Allow "boot" as the drive specification; this can be used both with partition numbers and with loaders.

* chain.c32: use a more Linux-kernel-like syntaxH. Peter Anvin2008-06-201-6/+10
| | | | | Make the syntax for chain.c32 more Linux-kernel-like. This also makes parsing easier, so it's a win all around.
* chain.c32: finalize the NTLDR interfacesyslinux-3.70-pre18H. Peter Anvin2008-06-151-0/+7
| | | | Settle on a final implementation of the NTLDR support.

* MEMDISK: algorithmic determination of floppy formatsH. Peter Anvin2008-06-071-0/+3
| | | | | Consider all disks < 4 MB to be floppies, and guess their geometry algorithmically.
* FAT: Support VFAT long filenamessyslinux-3.70-pre13H. Peter Anvin2008-06-061-0/+1
| | | | | | | Initial support for VFAT long filenames; currently hard-coded to codepage 865, no support for other codepages or for accessing files with names which aren't in the current codepage. This hopefully shouldn't be an issue for SYSLINUX applications.
* Centralize configurables; better "make install" etcH. Peter Anvin2008-05-291-0/+5
| | | | | | | Begin the process of centralizing configurables. Improve "make install" and "make netinstall"; add "make extbootinstall".

| | | | | | | | | | Add support for ISOLINUX-style LOCALBOOT in SYSLINUX/EXTLINUX. No way to do the same for PXELINUX, due to the keyword collision. Suck.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Ship syslogo.ppm.gz instead of syslogo.png, thereby eliminating a dependency on pngtopnm which apparently isn't installed by default on some distros.

| * Get rid of 4096-entry limit in the simple menu systemsyslinux-3.62-pre8H. Peter Anvin2008-02-161-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | Use a dynamic array instead of a static array which we would simply crash on overflow. Always make it a power-of-two sized so we don't end up doing a realloc() and a full array copy on every extend.
| * Put virtual kernels (CLI labels) in high memorysyslinux-3.62-pre7H. Peter Anvin2008-02-151-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Support putting virtual kernels in high memory instead of using a dedicated segment for it. This both reduces the low memory footprint by 64K, and allows for functionally unlimited labels (tested with over a hundred thousand.)

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When we are *not* mastered with mkisofs, we depend on running the checksumiso.pl script, in order to create a default boot info table. Due to the Makefile changes in 3.50 (commit 9e3d217ee3869e4f4ddb1466621c079e14754660) that hasn't happened since 3.50-pre23. Make it work now.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | bcopy32 had the test for forwards vs. backwards copy backwards, which of course resulted in disaster when memory areas actually overlapped themselves.
