	* Fix SHA-1 and MD5 passwords.
	* ISOLINUX: fix booting when mastered without
	  mkisofs -boot-info-table (broken since 3.50, sigh...)

Entered-date:	2008-02-03

Description:	SYSLINUX is a collection of boot loaders for the Linux
		operating system which operates off Linux ext2/3
		filesystems, MS-DOS FAT filesystems, network servers
		using PXE firmware, or from CD-ROMs.  The FAT
		filesystem version can be installed from DOS, NT, or
		Linux.

		It includes a sophisticated API for add-on "COM32"
		modules, including a significant subset of the
		standard C library.

		It also includes MEMDISK, a tool to boot legacy
		operating systems from nontraditional media like PXE
		or CD-ROM.
