This is not needed for PXE and PXELINUX booting, and is not recommended for new users. For new users, we recommend using [[http://syslinux.zytor.com|PXELINUX]] * [[mknbi|mknbi utility description and manpage]] ==== Developer information ==== * [[dev:todo|ToDo-List]] * [[dev:devmanual|Developers' manual]]
