2010-09-15add documentation for piggybacking formware onto hybrid mini.iso usb stickJoey Hess
2010-09-15Update USB stick documentation to reflect isohybird mini.iso files, as ↵Joey Hess
generated by debian-installer >= 20100913. This is very suboptimal, the USB stuff is a dreadful mess and needs a complete rewrite, but hopefully isohybrid full CD images will obsolte it later.

2010-02-24Drop requirement for TFTP server support of 'tsize' option for PXE bootingFrans Pop
As of Lenny syslinux no longer requires that the TFTP server supports the 'tsize' option (see #570273). With thanks to Ferenc Wagner.
2010-02-22Update information on setting up a TFTP serverFrans Pop
tftpd-hpa can be run using inetd, but also as an independent daemon. Mention that and remove some of the technical detail as it should be set up correctly by default when installing the package.

2009-11-06x86 USB boot: mini.iso is not usable as ISO image for hd-mediaFrans Pop
Make this more explicit. Apparently listing the images that can be used is not sufficient. Also add a link to section explaining how to get CD images.
2009-11-06x86 usb-boot: two improvements suggested by Timo Juhani LindforsFrans Pop
- hd-media and netboot use different names for kernel binary: the first uses 'vmlinuz', the second 'linux' - when repartitioning the stick, don't forget to set bootable flag
