_ I see some of the long file names in upper case, including those
lib*.c32. When a lib*.c32 file is needed (by some other module in
Syslinux), I don't know if the search is case sensitive.
_ I also see the short name (DOS 8.3 format) of SYSLINUX.CFG in upper
case, as it should, and its long file name uses lower case.
_ Regarding the space, if you add in your next email the content of
SYSLINUX.CFG, we may be able to delete some unneeded files (for
example, you probably don't need both vesamenu.c32 and menu.c32, and
menu.c32 has less dependencies than vesamenu.c32).
_ Please run "DIR A: /AH" so to add to the above list the hidden
files.
_ How exactly did you install syslinux 5.00 to the floppy?
_ What exactly do you mean with "no success"? Any error messages?
What do you see happening on the screen?
Regards,
Ady.
