- img720k.gz ... SYSLINUX disk header for 720K disk
- img1200k.gz ... SYSLINUX disk header for 1.2 Mb disk
- img1440k.gz ... SYSLINUX disk header for 1.44 Mb disk

- contains (partial, gzipped) disk images of MS-DOS formatted floppies
- with SYSLINUX already installed. Writing these to a low-level formatted
- floppy (*any* low-level formatted floppy -- if it contains data it will
- be erased!) will create a blank MS-DOS filesystem with SYSLINUX installed.
- A kernel image still needs to be copied to the floppy disk, with the
- filename LINUX; alternatively a configuration file can be created to
- specify a different file name.
-
- These files makes it possible to create a SYSLINUX bootable floppy on
- any operating system that can access an MS-DOS filesystem (either
- directly or with the help of something like "mtools") as well as write
- raw disk data. Most commercial Unices, as well as Linux itself, come to
- mind.
