Syslinux 3.70 (Release branch)
ImageSYSLINUX is a collection of boot loaders for the Linux operating system which operates on Linux EXT2/EXT3 filesystems, MS-DOS FAT filesystems, network servers using PXE firmware, or from CD-ROMs. SYSLINUX has an advanced extension API and contains two optional menu systems. It also includes MEMDISK, a tool for booting legacy operatingsystems from non-traditional media like PXE or CD-ROM. License: GNU General Public License (GPL)Changes:
gPXE has been integrated with PXELINUX. This allows network files to be accessed over protocols other than TFTP. TFTP no longer requires a server that can present the "tsize" option. SYSLINUX has added VFAT long filenames. chain.c32 can now access files directly when loading NTLDR (WinNT) or kernel.sys, io.sys, or ibmbio.sys (DOS). chain.c32 can now also install a drive-swapping stub for BIOS, which allows cross-drive booting of Windows. The complex menu system should now work as advertised again. USB keyboards have been fixed on some systems.Image

remote-filesystems

remote-filesystems(7)					 Miscellaneous Information Manual				     remote-filesystems(7)

NAME

       remote-filesystems - event signalling that remote filesystems have been mounted

SYNOPSIS

       local-filesystems [ENV]...

DESCRIPTION

       The  remote-filesystems event is generated by the mountall(8) daemon after it has mounted all remote filesystems listed in fstab(5).  moun-
       tall(8) emits this event as an informational signal, services and tasks started or stopped by this event will do so in parallel with  other
       activity.

       This event is typically used by services that must be started to manage remote filesystems.  When it occurs, local filesystems such as /usr
       may not be mounted.  For most normal services the filesystem(7) event is sufficient.

       This event will never occur before the virtual-filesystems(7) event.

EXAMPLE

       A service that wishes to be running once remote filesystems are mounted might use:

	      start on remote-filesystems

SEE ALSO

       mounting(7) mounted(7) virtual-filesystems(7) local-filesystems(7) all-swaps(7) filesystem(7)
