NAME
extlinux - install the SYSLINUX bootloader on a ext2/ext3 filesystemSYNOPSIS
extlinux [options] directoryDESCRIPTION
EXTLINUX is a new syslinux derivative, which boots from a Linux ext2/ext3 filesystem. It works the same way as SYSLINUX, with a few slight modifications. It is intended to simplify first-time installation of Linux, and for creation of rescue and other special-purpose boot disks.The installer is designed to be run on a mounted directory. For example, if you have an ext2 or ext3 usb key mounted on /mnt, you can run the following command:
- extlinux --install /mnt

- -H, --heads=#
- Force the number of heads.
- -i, --install
- Install over the current bootsector.
- -O, --clear-once
- Clear the boot-once command.
- -o, --once=command
- Execute a command once upon boot.
- -M, --menu-save=label
- Set the label to select as default on the next boot
- -r, --raid
- Fall back to the next device on boot failure.
- --reset-adv
- Reset auxiliary data.
- -S, --sectors=#

BUGS
I would appreciate hearing of any problems you have with SYSLINUX. I would also like to hear from you if you have successfully used SYSLINUX, especially if you are using it for a distribution.If you are reporting problems, please include all possible information about your system and your BIOS; the vast majority of all problems reported turn out to be BIOS or hardware bugs, and I need as much information as possible in order to diagnose the problems.
There is a mailing list for discussion among SYSLINUX users and for announcements of new and test versions. To join, send a message to majordomo@linux.kernel.org with the line:
