[syslinux] pxe linux

[Manu Abraham]

Hello Josef,
	As per the suggestion i made the changes to /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default 
like this

#Pxe configuration

default tux
label tux
kernel linux
append initrd=rootfs.img ramdisk_size=65536 root=/dev/ram0


	Still i get the same Kernel command line: BOOT_IMAGE=linux auto. No changes 
in that. I don't know where my append seems to be going...


Regards,
Manu
