  SYSLINUX - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The SYSLINUX Project covers a suite of lightweight bootloaders, for starting up computers in the Linux operating system.
SYSLINUX is not normally used for booting full Linux installations since Linux is not normally installed on FAT filesystems.
To have this choice is sometimes useful however as ISOLINUX is vulnerable to BIOS bugs, in which case it's handy to be able to boot using SYSLINUX.

 Configure the SYSLINUX boot loader
SYSLINUX presents a simple text interface that can be used to select between canned configurations defined in the configuration file and can be used to add parameters to the kernel.
SYSLINUX supports a variety of serial port speeds, but it only supports eight data bits, no parity and one stop bit.
When using this configuration SYSLINUX will not display anything and will not accept any typed character until the RS-232 status signals show a connected modem call (or a connected terminal if you are using a null-modem cable).

SYSLINUX is a boot loader for the Linux/i386 operating system which operates off an MS-DOS/Windows FAT filesystem.
SYSLINUX is probably not suitable as a general purpose boot loader.
However, SYSLINUX has shown itself to be quite useful in a number of special-purpose applications.

SYSLINUX can be used, when properly set up, to completely eliminate the need for distribution of raw diskette images for boot floppies.

SYSLINUX Version 1.48 September 26, 1999 A bootloader for Linux using MS-DOS floppies Copyright (C) 1994-1999 H. Peter Anvin This program is provided under the terms of the GNU General Public License, version 2 or, at your option, any later version.
The SYSLINUX loader does not need to know about the kernel file in advance; all that is required is that it is a file located in the root directory on the disk.
If SYSLINUX boots automatically, it will act just as if the entries after DEFAULT had been typed in at the "boot:" prompt, except that the option "auto" is automatically added, indicating an automatic boot.

 Advance Projects - AdvanceCD makebootfat Documentation
Syslinux 3.00 supports all the FAT types and sizes but it requires a special customisation of the boot sector and of the file `ldlinux.sys'.
This option does this customisation without the need to use the syslinux installer if the `ldlinux.sys' file is copied on disk with the -c option.
Partition devices are named \\.\X: where X is a letter, but sometimes \\.\X: is a disk and not a partition, for example on floppies and on all the USB Mass Storage devices without a partition table.

Under SYSLINUX, it will be run in CPL 0, however, since it may be possible to create a COM32 execution engine that would run under something like Linux DOSEMU, it is recommended that the code does not assume CPL 0 unless absolutely necessary.
SYSLINUX guarantees at least this alignment for the COMBOOT load segment or the COM32 bounce buffer.
Keep in mind that a "file" may be a TFTP connection, and that leaving a file open for an extended period of time may result in a timeout.

Syslinux will attempt to detect if the user is trying to boot on a 286 or lower class machine, or a machine with less than 608K of low ("DOS") RAM (which means the Linux boot sequence cannot complete).
SYSLINUX can boot from a FAT12 or FAT16 filesystem partition on a hard disk (FAT32, introduced in Windows 95 OSR-2, is not supported, however.) The installation procedure is identical to the procedure for installing it on a floppy, and should work under either DOS or Linux.
SYSLINUX will not work (and will refuse to install) on filesystems with a cluster size of more than 16K (typically means a filesystem of more than 1 GB.)

 SYSLINUX
SYSLINUX is a boot loader specially suited for diskettes.
In theory SYSLINUX can be installed in a FAT partition on the hard disk and it can boot Linux kernels from there and it can chain load MSDOS and similar operating systems.
However, SYSLINUX is not the natural choice for booting Linux from the hard disk.

 Using SYSLINUX to boot PXES, easily how-to
This how-to explains how you can use SYSLINUX to boot PXES from the hard drive of the "thin" client.
This how-to also provides you with an install floppy and how to create your own PXES floppy set to use with the install floppy, which is handy because we can't rely on old CD-ROM's, and we probably don't want CD-ROM's on your thin clients.
You need a floppy drive to install SYSLINUX and PXES on the HD, and also to restore it in case of failure.

 Syslinux   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Syslinux is not normally used for full installations as it only loads kernels from FAT filesystems.
However it is used for bootable Linux floppy disks (Lilo is an alternative) and almost every Live CD uses Isolinux.
Isolinux can be to use as it requires a table information about the cdrom to be patched the binary which not all cd recording support.

Copy one or more Linux kernel files to it, then execute the DOS command: syslinux [-s] a: (or whichever drive letter is appropriate; the [] meaning -s is optional) If you're running in a Win95/98/ME DOS box, you should execute the command "lock a:" first.
Under Linux, execute the command: syslinux [-s] [-o offset] /dev/fd0 (or, again, whichever device is the correct one.) This will alter the boot sector on the disk and copy a file named LDLINUX.SYS into its root directory.

There is "linux" in syslinux because it was initially a bootloader to boot linux.
Best regards, Rémi P.S: but don't forget that syslinux is in GPL, so no proprietary modifications possible without publishing them, except for custom com or com32 programs that syslinux is able to handle (a nice library is in development at the moment).
