+.TH extlinux "1" "18 December 2007" "SYSLINUX for ext2/ext3 filesystem"
+.SH NAME
+extlinux \- install the \s-1SYSLINUX\s+1 bootloader on a ext2/ext3 filesystem
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B extlinux
+[\fIoptions\fP] \fIdirectory\fP
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+\fBEXTLINUX\fP is a new syslinux derivative, which boots from a Linux ext2/ext3
+filesystem.  It works the same way as \fBSYSLINUX\fP, with a few slight modifications.
+It is intended to simplify first-time installation of Linux, and for creation of
+rescue and other special-purpose boot disks.
+.PP
+The installer is designed to be run on a mounted directory.  For example, if you have an
+ext2 or ext3 usb key mounted on /mnt, you can run the following command:
+.IP
+.B extlinux --install /mnt

+.SH BUGS
+I would appreciate hearing of any problems you have with \s-1SYSLINUX\s+1.  I
+would also like to hear from you if you have successfully used \s-1SYSLINUX\s+1,
+especially if you are using it for a distribution.
+.PP
+If you are reporting problems, please include all possible information
+about your system and your BIOS; the vast majority of all problems
+reported turn out to be BIOS or hardware bugs, and I need as much
+information as possible in order to diagnose the problems.
+.PP
+There is a mailing list for discussion among \s-1SYSLINUX\s+1 users and for
+announcements of new and test versions. To join, send a message to
+majordomo@linux.kernel.org with the line:
