Changes in 1.41: * Don't get confused by directories, volume labels, or VFAT long names. * Use INT 15h, AX=0E801h to query memory size before trying INT 15h, AH=88h. This not only provides more headroom between the kernel and the initrd on large-memory machines, but it appears some recent BIOSes actually have started returning garbage for the AH=88h (older) call. * Trust high memory beyond the 15 MB mark if the user has specified it, or if obtained with INT 15h, AH=0E801h (with no memory holes above 1 MB.) Begin3 Title: syslinux Version: 1.41 Entered-date: 01DEC98 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.
