[syslinux] SYSLINUX 1.70 released

[H. Peter Anvin]

SYSLINUX 1.70 doesn't introduce any new features, but contains a major
rewrite of some of the internals.  It also includes some bug fixes.

Changes in 1.70:
        * Major code restructuring.
        * Relax the conventional memory limits somewhat.
        * MEMDISK: Set up the "version number string" pointer in the
          header correctly.
        * SYSLINUX: Fix, again, "the bug that won't die": the use of
          the offset parameter with the SYSLINUX installer.
        * SYSLINUX: Fix possible superblock corruption problem in the
          SYSLINUX installer.

Title:          syslinux
Version:        1.70
Entered-date:   2002-04-17
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.
                Starting with version 1.65, it additionally includes
                MEMDISK, a tool to boot legacy operating systems from
                nontraditional media like PXE or CD-ROM.
