Can't hold it off any longer... here it is :)
Changes in 2.00:
* ALL: Add support for "COM32" (32-bit COMBOOT) images.
* ALL: Add an API for COMBOOT/COM32 images. See comboot.doc
for details. There is a C development environment for
COM32 being created; it should be ready at some point in
the future.
* Fix mbr.asm so that it actually works.
* SYSLINUX: The syslinux installer *SHOULD* now be safe to
run setuid root.
* PXELINUX: Fix bug where PXELINUX would override random
chunks of the UNDI code segment! Thanks to Kevin Tran for
finding this bug.
* ISOLINUX: Fix a bug related to slashes in pathnames.
* ISOLINUX: Fix a bug in handling initrds over 128 MB.
* ALL: Make the <Ctrl-V> key print out the version; this is
to help debugging.
* Add a small script, mkdiskimage, to create a DOS-formatted
hard disk image using mtools. This may be useful in
conjunction with MEMDISK.
* ISOLINUX: Search for a /boot/isolinux directory as well as
/isolinux.
* ALL: Fix a bug related to very long configuration files.
* PXELINUX: Work around a NASM bug which would result in no
delay before reset if an error occurs.
