[syslinux] Syslinux 5.00-pre6: call it a beta

[Helmut Hullen]

Hallo, Gene,

Du meintest am 01.07.12:

>>    libcom32.c32
>>       -> no response, only new line with prompt

>>    vesamenu.c32
>>       -> Undef symbol FAIL: vesacom_set_background

> everything works perfectly.

I've tried this way (manually):

Copied

  *.bin
  *.c32
  *.com
  *.0
  *isolinux*

from the *.tar.xz packet into the "isolinux" directory. Next try:

  Undef symbol FAIL: SHA1Update
  boot:   (and waiting)

Trying
    boot: vesamenu32
    -> loading vesamenu32... failed!
       Kernel load failure (insufficient memory?)

    boot: local
    -> FAIL: console_ansi_raw


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

Seems that running "make" produces other files than the original files  
in the *.tar.xz packet.

Maybe an "INSTALL" file (a "HOWTO") could help.

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

If "insufficient memory" is the right diagnosis: that may be a bad  
diagnosis.
My Thinkpad T22 has 384 MByte RAM, the mentioned antique Compag has  
perhaps 256 MByte RAM.

Viele Gruesse!
