------------------------------------------------------------------- Mon Oct 9 15:17:27 CEST 2006 - snwint@suse.de - no progress dots when in gfx mode ------------------------------------------------------------------- Fri Sep 29 15:48:40 CEST 2006 - snwint@suse.de - update to version 3.31 * The simple menu system (menu.c32 and vesamenu.c32) now support loading more than one configuration file at a time, using MENU INCLUDE or by specifying multiple filenames. * The MENU COLOR statement can now control the shadowing mode. * libcom32 extended to support graphics mode and graphical console. * vesamenu.c32, new graphical version of the Simple Menu System, see README.menu. * New com32 modules by Erwan Velu do selection based on CPUID or PCI devices present. * EXTLINUX: New options --install (-i) and --update (-U), to make it clear if a boot loader should be installed or updated. For now, defaults to --install for compatibility; a future version will require one of these options. * New library functions to load and place files in memory. * mboot.c32 bug fixes. * Remove 8 MB kernel size restriction. * PXELINUX: Fail (and eventually reboot) if no configuration file was found. * COM32 module by Erwan Velu to make decisions based on DMI info. * Fix issue where going back and forth between menus a lot would cause a hang. * ISOLINUX: Fix bug which made "cd boot sectors" not work. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Fri Aug 25 08:01:36 CEST 2006 -
