1.62, again, is a very minor release, with changes mostly affecting PXELINUX users. However, the graphics cleanup fixes affect all programs. Changes in 1.62: * PXELINUX: Allow the DHCP server to override the configuration file name and pathname prefix, using "site-specific" DHCP options. * PXELINUX: Documentation fixes. * PXELINUX: Fix the "ipappend" option; the last two values were reversed vs. what the kernel expected. * Introduce a way to return to text mode once we are already in graphics mode. This may be useful for F-key help screens. * Fix several bugs in the way return to text mode was handled. Begin3 Title: syslinux Version: 1.62 Entered-date: 2001-04-24 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 ~ 8K DOS program or ~ 16K Linux program to create in the first place. Starting with version 1.46 it also includes PXELINUX, a program to boot off a network server using a boot PROM compatible with the Intel PXE (Pre-Execution Environment) specification. Starting with version 1.60 it also includes ISOLINUX, a program to boot off an ISO 9660 in native "no-emulation" mode.
