About:
SYSLINUX is a collection of boot loaders for the Linux operating system which operates on Linux EXT2/EXT3 filesystems, MS-DOS FAT filesystems, network servers using PXE firmware, or from CD-ROMs. SYSLINUX has an advanced extension API and contains two optional menu systems. It also includes MEMDISK, a tool for booting legacy operating systems from non-traditional media like PXE or CD-ROM.

[»] Feature request, if possible
by T Iuri - Nov 2nd 2005 06:30:35

I've managed to get isolinux/memdisk working. I made up my own boot cd with different images.. My question is: can you make memdisk boot ISO images? I know this sounds kind of rendunant, but I need to boot linux, msdos(ancient :), but still needed) & maybe geexbox(http://geexbox.org), which is provided as ISO image, and I wouldn't want to break it down... Can you help me?
