1.64 is a bugfix release, affecting all components. Changes in 1.64: * Limited support for hardware flow control when using a serial port console. * Support specifying the serial port I/O address explicitly. * Make DOS installer hopefully behave more nicely when used on recent Windows versions. * Fix returning to text mode when a font has been specified. * Attempt to detect missing serial port hardware and disable the serial port if there is nothing there. Begin3 Title: syslinux Version: 1.64 Entered-date: 2001-11-24 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.
