Title: syslinux
Version: 1.76
Entered-date: 2002-08-27
Description: SYSLINUX is a boot loader for the Linux operating system
which operates off MS-DOS floppies. It is intended to
simplify first-time installation of Linux, rescue
disks, and other uses for boot floppies. A SYSLINUX floppy
can be manipulated using standard MS-DOS (or any other
OS that can access an MS-DOS filesystem) tools once
it has been created; and requires only a ~ 8K DOS program
or ~ 16K Linux program to create in the first place.
Starting with version 1.46 it also includes PXELINUX, a
program to boot off a network server using a boot PROM
compatible with the Intel PXE (Pre-Execution
Environment) specification.
Starting with version 1.60 it also includes ISOLINUX,
a program to boot off an ISO 9660 in native
"no-emulation" mode.
Starting with version 1.65, it additionally includes
MEMDISK, a tool to boot legacy operating systems from
nontraditional media like PXE or CD-ROM.
