syslinux upgrade for tc4.7.x?

[gmc]

Greetings,

I would like to know how hard it would be to upgrade syslinux in TC 4.7.7?  If it is not too difficult, how is it done?  I have been searching the forum for answers but so far have not found what I need.

Thanks,

Glen

Info for upgrading syslinux.tcz should be found in the info file in Apps for syslinux.tcz

Sorry, I'm not quite following you.  Is Apps a directory or so you mean the Apps Browser?

Thanks

Hi gmc
The info tab in AppBrowser will show you where the source code for building syslinux came from.

[gmc]

Ah!  That helps.  Thanks - I'm off to do some reading (I reckon I'll be back, though...).

Using binaries from upstream (stable) works for me.

Say waht? 
(Translation: I don't have a clue to what you mean!)

Sorry, it looks like I'm going to be a linux newbie for a long, long time.

Yep - I'm back!
I carefully followed the steps in the info comments.  Everything appeared to work properly.  I rebooted and now get the syslinux 4.05 header on boot.  But the next line says:

Could not find kernel image: menu.c32
boot:

So, any idea how I messed up?

Sorry, yes Apps Browser

Sounds good to me.  How do you go about installing one of these?

I never did anything else than just untar.

That's too easy!

By the way, did you see my post about what happened when I followed the upgrade steps in the Apps Info page?  It failed.  Can't find kernel: menu.c32.

[tinypoodle]

i suggest you read upstream documentation (syslinux wiki) about using modules.

Could not find kernel image: menu.c32

Simple: you reference menu.c32 (hopefully in a UI directive or under a LABEL clause in either a COM32 or KERNEL directive and hopefully not the DEFAULT directive) and it's not in the same directory as your config.
