[syslinux] SYSLINUX 2.09, 2.10-pre1 released

[Murali Krishnan Ganapathy]

Till such a feature comes along, you can implement the same 
functionality as follows:

* Create a menu, with options corresponding to the different isolinux 
labels
* Set pcelinux.cfg to run the menu directly without any wait.

This way you get a slightly user friendly interface and the users dont 
have access to the pxelinux boot prompt.
