I don't understand how to use this option.

Where do I put it in the following?

LABEL local
MENU LABEL local boot
LOCALBOOT 0

What version of syslinux can I download that have an older version
syslinux-3.86 still has gpxe v 1.0.0 same as syslinux-4.01 with
copying all of syslinux-3.86's versions of gpxelinux.0 and pxelinux.0
it works the same.(different appearance) pxelinux.0 works with
localboot and gpxelinux.0 does not.
