Hi all,
I have released SYSLINUX 2.11. It's basically -pre3 with a few last-minute fixes.
2.11: Bug fix release.
Changes in 2.11:
* ALL: Add an API call to get the configuration file name.
* SYSLINUX: Fix bug in 2.10 that prevented it from working
correctly for a lot of people.
* SYSLINUX: In the installer, make mtools a bit less fussy.
* Make the menu system compile with newer gcc's.

Title: syslinux
Version: 2.11
Entered-date: 2004-08-16
Description: SYSLINUX is a collection of boot loaders for the Linux
operating system which operates off MS-DOS floppies,
network servers using PXE firmware, or from CD-ROMs.
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 very small DOS or Linux program to
create in the first place. It also includes MEMDISK,
a tool to boot legacy operating systems from
nontraditional media like PXE or CD-ROM.
