[syslinux] boot speed

Let me rephrase that:

<Windows user assumed>

Suppose you have a working 1.68 or 1.73 physical floppy with everything
you need already prepared.

Then, you open winimage, create an image from the physical floppy,
convert the format to 2.88, save it in an uncompressed format (.IMA)
and then feed it to isolinux.

That was what I meant on my previous post.

They do, but you need different physical media.
