Package: syslinux-common (2:3.83+dfsg-3)

Kernel loader which uses a FAT, ext2/3 or iso9660 filesystem or PXE network

SYSLINUX is a suite of lightweight bootloaders, currently supporting DOS FAT filesystems (SYSLINUX), Linux ext2/ext3 filesystems (EXTLINUX), PXE network booting (PXELINUX), or bootable "El Torito" ISO 9660 CD-ROMs (ISOLINUX). It also includes a tool, MEMDISK, which loads legacy operating systems (such as DOS) from these media.

This package contains the bootloader files only.
