Re: Salix64 KDE 13.37 and Windows 7. Advice needed.

In you Win7 VM, you need to change the specific screen monitor. It is probably set as "standard" or something similar, and that's why you get 1050/1400=0.75=3/4 (as old CRT screen monitors). Your real screen is 1200/1920=0.625=10/16, so change your "hardware" settings in your Win...

Re: syslinux and isolinux in salix 14.0alpha1

As I already said, "isolinux" covers CD only, so evidently the CD should work. Then "syslinux" is a generic" term (for the current Syslinux version), so it should work for all cases, isolinux.bin or ldlinux.sys. When you say it works for USB drives, that's because you are us...

Re: cdrtools

This probably explains why iso images created with our current mkisofs don't open with engrampa. They do open with isomaster though. Exactly :!: . Some versions of file roler (GNOME) and its fork engrampa (MATE) demand for the ISO image to be 100% compatible with ECMA119. mkisofs 3.01a05 to -a07 fa...

Re: syslinux and isolinux in salix 14.0alpha1

@ gapan , Apparently I am unable to explain this suggestion in a short way, without having to repeat entire wiki pages of the Syslinux project or writing stories of different practical cases. You are missing the main point of my first suggestion. Other than mentioning specific bootable CDs using the...

Re: Salix Xfce 14.0alpha1

As I already explained to you a couple of times, that was only a last minute edit which doesn't matter with an alpha release. My point was not about that particular isomaster edition (and it wasn't about that in that other topic either), so maybe I should had skipped that part of the post here. Ple...

Re: syslinux and isolinux in salix 14.0alpha1

I still don't understand how that will change anything. It already works with USB drives as it is. The ISOs are isohybrid and can be put on a USB drive with dd. I think I already explained above that the 32-bit iso is not currently hybrid, but that was a mistake. I'm not referring to the specific m...

Re: Salix Xfce 14.0alpha1

I originally downloaded the x32 variant, and the mkisofs command was replaced by the edition with isomaster made before the release. On such edited ISO image, there is a chance the isohybrid MBR or the ISOLINUX loader (isolinux.bin) won't work correctly, so please take this into consideration for fu...

Re: syslinux and isolinux in salix 14.0alpha1

@gapan, The first suggestion is for using the ISO image / CD content directly in a USB drive, usually by means of isohybrid. Simply put: change "isolinux" paths to "syslinux". The "syslinux" paths will boot both (CD with isolinux.bin, and USB drive with ldlinux.sys), wh...

Re: syslinux and isolinux in salix 14.0alpha1

BTW, I downloaded Salix14.0alpha1 x32. It is not ready for isohybrid (in opposition to what the main announcement says) and it was edited by isomaster before its release (so the mkisofs command is not shown either).

syslinux and isolinux in salix 14.0alpha1

I'd like to suggest a couple of changes to Salix14.0alpha1 in relation to syslinux/isolinux. Suggestion #1: ______________ Since the ISO images are isohybrid and are using ISOLINUX 4.05, the cfg file can be changed to from "/[boot/]isolinux/isolinux.cfg" to "/[boot/]syslinux/syslinux....
