The Syslinux Project subforum at boot-land.net:

I am currently moderating this subforum.

I agree.

If you want, ask Nuno to make you a moderator too.

I made pinned topic with general info about Syslinux (not complete yet, but a good start):

It is an 'unofficial' forum. It doesn't matter if it is an unofficial forum. If it gives enough info about
how to use Syslinux or where to find that info, it seems that that the goal is reached.
I am enough on the Syslinux IRC channel, to let hpa and others know about interesting topics on
the boot-land forums about Syslinux like feature requests or problems with Syslinux.
If you read the Syslinux subforum also, it would be great.

An interesting topic:
MEMDISK floppy emulation does work from CD, but not from USB on some PCs.
Grub4dos floppy emulation does work from CD and USB on these PCs.
So I guess that MEMDISK can be improved.

Definetely. Especially MEMDISK-ISO is interesting for me.
