If you have a suggestion, Patches are accepted. hpa doesn't really have 
the time for keeping the docs up, and developing syslinux. He has asked 
the list in the past to try and help bring the docs up to date / quality.

So if you could type up what you feel would be a good way of expressing 
it, you would be helping the entire project.

<-- needs to find some time to do some doc work too..
