Just to be sure, menu.c32 is a module that extends pxe boot capabilities?
It's in the package. For Cobbler I package the menu.c32 from a
Fedora version, however, because the version packaged with RHEL4 has
issues (I forget details -- it's been a while). If running RHEL 5 as
the PXE server this should not be a problem.
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.
It's a seperate file. If you install Cobbler and create some profiles
it will build the config files out in /tftpboot for you to look at and
play with.
I will gladly pass on anything if I get it working properly.

Cobbler (http://cobbler.et.redhat.com) uses menu.c32 to generate it's
PXE menus. menu.c32 is of course very nice. I haven't found a good
way to generate submenus in though I would be very interested in this --
for instance, if you were able to pick your cobbler distribution and
then pick profiles based on that distribution, or if the lists were very
long it might be more useful than having scrolling.
However since menu.c32 does offer some very nice scrolling, unless your
number of entries gets very large, the need for submenus may be a non-
issue.
Another problem you'll run into with menu.c32 is that it does not offer
a working timeout -- so once you PXE to engage the menu, the user must
choose from the menu... so in my case I default to "default", and
menu.c32 is the "menu" target -- so to pull up the menu you have to type
"menu" at the syslinux prompt before it times out to "default".
Hopefully that helps, if you get a good working hierarchical setup with
menu.c32 I'd be interested in seeing your configuration files on that.

Hi
I have been looking through the documentation to see if you can have
sub menus in the pxe boot menu but could not find anything that talks
specifically about it. I could probably adapt the function key menus
but would prefer to use the normal menus. Does anyone have an example
I could use or point me to the right documentation please.
Regards
