EXTLINUX is a new syslinux derivative, which boots from a Linux
ext2/ext3 filesystem.
It works the same way as SYSLINUX, with a few slight modifications.
1. The installer is run on a *mounted* filesystem. Run the extlinux
installer on the directory in which you want extlinux installed:
extlinux /boot
NOTE: this doesn't have to be the root directory of a filesystem.
If /boot is a filesystem, you can do:
mkdir -p /boot/extlinux
extlinux /boot/extlinux
... to create a subdirectory and install extlinux in it.
2. The configuration file is called "extlinux.conf", and is expected
to be found in the same directory as extlinux is installed in.
3. Pathnames can be absolute or relative; if absolute (with a leading
slash), they are relative to the root of the filesystem on which
extlinux is installed (/boot in the example above), if relative,
they are relative to the extlinux directory.
extlinux supports subdirectories, but the total path length is
limited to 255 characters.
