At the core, is that Syslinux is a general bootloader which gives access
to a virtual filesystem.  It supports multiple open files, but not
seeking or writing.

Please correct me if I'm wrong:
Supporting multiple open files could've been done mapping the "whole" file in memory w/o requiring multiple in-progress TFTP transfers right?

SOME of the reasons to support multiple files have gone away because of
the shuffler and more comprehensive memory management, however.

Do you remember other reasons besides "INCLUDE" handling that today might depend on multiple in-progress TFTP transfers?Thanks,
