I haven't yet tried.
Most times I boot them via PXElinux ...

I've seen the bug report (thanks to Geerd Stappers) - it's not very  
clear for me.

The simpliest way for me might be some download addresses for several  
*.iso images which I can test.

Thinkpad T22, T23, T40

----------------------------------------

I've just tried compiling syslinux-4.00-pre63 for slackware using the  
Build script from 3.84: it finished with the error message

cp -f ../codepage/cp865.cp codepage.cp

--------------------

Where must I change the "command line optimization level"? Is it "-Ox"  
in the nasm line?

Am I right that I don't need to compile syslinux-4.00? The package seems  
to contain all the files a compiling run would make too.


Viele Gruesse!
