[syslinux] [PATCH] Add some man pages.

Peter Jones pjones at redhat.com
Mon Jan 20 06:51:40 PST 2014


Add very basic pages for:
isohybrid - It's not particularly more useful than --help, but my QA
            department really wants this to exist.
memdiskfind - Explain what it does and its invocation.
