Changes in 1.50:
        * Yet another A20-code update.  It seems some "legacy-free"
          machines and embedded gear simply don't have a KBC to talk
          to, and that waiting for one will wait forever.  Sigh.

Changes in 1.49:
	* SYSLINUX: Implement a hack for BIOS drivers which hog significant
	  chunks of low memory during boot.  (Note: PXELINUX already
	  had this modification.  SYSLINUX does still require that the
	  low 512K is available; PXELINUX requires 384K.  Machines
	  with a physical memory hole in the low 640K cannot boot
	  Linux no matter what.)  Depending what the reason is for the
	  memory hole, a new kernel (2.4.0-test3-pre3 or later) may be
	  required.
	* SYSLINUX: Default installer binary now compiled against
	  glibc 2.1.  If this is inappropriate for your system and you
	  still want to use the offical version of SYSLINUX, please
	  follow the instructions in "distrib.doc" to rebuild the
	  installer.
	* SYSLINUX: Linux installer program now supports -o <offset>
	  option which does a loopback mount with the
	  -o loop,offset=<> option.  Useful to run SYSLINUX on an
	  individual partition of a whole-harddisk image.
	* Include the source code to a Master Boot Record (MBR)
	  functionally equivalent to the one installed DOS except it
	  includes EBIOS support, and should be resistant to geometry
	  changes.  The MBR code is public domain.
	* PXELINUX: Fix "double p" bug: if the tftp prefix was null,
	  all filenames would get a "p" preprended, e.g.
	  "ppxelinux.cfg" and "pvmlinux".

Title:		syslinux
Version:	1.50
Entered-date:	2000-11-21
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 ~ 7K DOS program
		or ~ 13K 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.
