[syslinux] Strange Boot-Process with help of memdisk

[Helmut Hullen]

Hallo, Miller,,

I've just compiled the packet you've announced.

The only explanation how to invoke "memdisk-iso" I've found was

"With this patch, users can now boot El Torito-bootable .ISO (CD/DVD)
 images.
 The user should specify "iso" on the kernel command-line."

Sorry - that's a bit too short for me!

Could you please give an example which contains a complete "image"/ 
"label" block?

Some of my machines have only 512 MByte RAM - could you name an *.iso  
image which works (may be I need it only for testing).

Thank you!

By the way: some of my collegues actually want this option, p.e. for  
booting "udpcast" and/or "clonezilla" via PXE. They would embrace you  
(at least virtually) if/when "memdisk-iso" works as announced.

Viele Gruesse!
