Hi.. I'm Jaspreet Oberoi and i'm new to this forum..

Actually i am using Bootscriptor to make multibootable cd's and it is using 
your 2.04 version of syslinux and memdisk..

What my problem is that when i boot any image i.e .img file which has a 
Win98 command.com it works alright but when i try to boot any image with a 
WinME command.com it just hangs on Loading .. then Starting....

It never proceeds further..

Please help me. I think this is a bug that needs some fixing..
I'm not familiar to the linux world so please consider me as a newbie to 
this community..

BTW :- Your project is absolutely wonderful and is really helping the 
Freeware community.. Keep up the good work..

Bye.
Jassi.
