syslinux
- Version:
- 1.02
- Entered-date:

- 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. SYSLINUX
could in conjunction with the UMSDOS filesystem,
completely eliminate the need for distribution of raw
diskette images 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 10K DOS program
to create in the first place (creation using "dd" on a UNIX
box is also supported.)
