Hello All,

Sorry if this has be discussed already, I have a syslinux config which
is rather big [7000+ char] and I see that the menu system "menu.c32"
shows only part of the menu configured.

Also the last entry in the menu contains only half of the
configuration. Is there a limit to the size of config file for the
menu ?

I tried to work around the problem by spliting the config file  and
using the INCLUDE directive and it seems to work well. So looks more
like a restriction of menu system to read only up to certain size.

If someone knows the size limit , I can try to better optimize the
splitting of config file.

For reference syslinux version used is 3.82.

Regards
