Thank you, all, for confirming that this limitation exists -- that is the important issue. Overcoming this limitation is an exercise with many possible solutions; but, now I am satisfied that this is not caused by some error on my part ;> Nevertheless, Charles, perhaps you could mention this in the README, thereabouts where you mention LRP= and syslinux.cfg . . . -- Best Regards, mds mds resource 888.250.3987 Dare to fix things before they break . . . Our capacity for understanding is inversely proportional to how much we think we know.
