Using syslinux as bootloader

[amethyst]

Has anyone experimented with this? I see it can handle uefi booting. An alternative bootloader to use perhaps?

Hi, I use extlinux (a variant of syslinux which boots from a linux filesystem) all the time, in my case legacy boot. It works reliably.
BTW, If you're booting an iso file directly, isolinux (other variant of it) often takes care of that.

Yes, I was referring to extlinux.

I'm using:

It is keyboard centric.
I'm using labels/aliases for systems: 1a, 1b, 2b, 4c etc.

Code: Select all

label 1e
	kernel /slacko64-700/vmlinuz
	append initrd=/slacko64-700/initrd.gz pmedia=ataflash psubdir=slacko64-700 pfix=fsck

It was default for old Puppies CD.
