(Using syslinux 4.02, pxelinux, and menu.c32)
1. Is it possible to make a multi-line MENU TITLE? I tried \n
and line continuation \ and neither worked.
2. The menu.c32 Wiki page states that the ANSI color codes are
used for text mode. But nothing is said about the
foreground/background "#" codes or shadow. I suspect they
apply only to a graphical menu, as I didn't see any effect
with a text menu. The Wiki should clearly state what they
apply to.
3. Is there a tool that would let me see the PXE boot menu at my
desk, instead of having to go physically boot a machine to see
it? Using a VM is too heavyweight. I would expect something
in the syslinux suite or a 3rd party tool that could at least
show the menu.c32 text menu at a [SSH] console or a graphical
desktop.
