Good day Prof S W Damle,

To produce a Syslinux CD/DVD image (an ISOLINUX .ISO), you can follow
the instructions in syslinux/doc/isolinux.txt.  Specifically, the
'mkisofs' example.

To install Syslinux on a filesystem that's on a partition that's on a
hard disk drive, you can follow the instructions in
syslinux/doc/syslinux.txt.  Specifically, the
'syslinux'/'syslinux.exe'/'syslinux.com' examples.  You might also enjoy
the note about writing an MBR to the hard disk drive.  Look for "A
simple MBR, roughly on par..." in that document.

The instructions provided for Matthew were in regards to a super-floppy
image, but I'm not sure how that context is related to your request.
'mkisofs' makes .ISO images.  If you are interested in producing HDD
images, that's another matter.
