RE: pxe menu

["Gerrard Geldenhuis" <Gerrard Geldenhuis datacash com>]

Just to be sure, menu.c32 is a module that extends pxe boot capabilities? 

Is it build into the syslinux package or do I need to download it. I could not find anythng relevant on a RH AS 4 server which is my satellite box.

I will gladly pass on anything if I get it working properly.

Regards
