Hello,

Today, I'm happy to present you the Debian package syslinux, which is
part of the utils section, and maintained by Daniel Baumann
<daniel at debian.org>. 

This package contains : Bootloader for Linux/i386 using MS-DOS
floppies.

SYSLINUX is a boot loader for the Linux/i386 operating system which operates
off an MS-DOS/Windows FAT filesystem. It is intended to simplify first-time
installation of Linux, and for creation of rescue and other special-purpose
boot disks.

It can also be used as a PXE bootloader during network boots.

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.
