Syslinux is a boot loader software for Linux. It helps users to start and initiate the Linux system. It is a collection of tools that offer multiple options for booting a system. With Syslinux, the process of booting becomes easy and convenient.
One of the major selling points of SYSLINUX is its ability to simplify the first-time installation of Linux, as well as facilitate the creation of rescue- and other special-purpose boot disks. With this software, you can create a boot floppy without needing to distribute raw diskette images, thereby cutting down on distribution costs and simplifying the process.
When properly set up, SYSLINUX can even eliminate the need for distribution of raw diskette images for boot floppies entirely. Plus, once you've created a SYSLINUX floppy, it can be easily manipulated using standard MS-DOS (or any other OS that can access an MS-DOS filesystem) tools.
Overall, SYSLINUX is a useful and practical tool for anyone looking for a reliable and straightforward boot loader for the Linux operating system.
