-SYSLINUX is a boot loader for the Linux operating system which operates
-off of MS-DOS floppies. It is intended to simplify first-time
-installation of Linux, rescue disks, and other uses for boot floppies. A
-SYSLINUX floppy can be manipulated using standard MS-DOS (or any other
-OS that can access an MS-DOS filesystem) tools once it has been created,
-and requires only a ~ 8K DOS program or ~ 16K Linux program to create it
-in the first place. It also includes PXELINUX, a program to boot off a
-network server using a boot PROM compatible with the Intel PXE
-(Pre-Execution Environment) specification, and ISOLINUX, a program to
-boot off ISO 9660 CD-ROMs in native mode.
+The Syslinux Project covers lightweight bootloaders for MS-DOS FAT filesystems
+(SYSLINUX), network booting (PXELINUX), bootable "El Torito" CD-ROMs (ISOLINUX), and
+Linux ext2/ext3/ext4 or btrfs filesystems (EXTLINUX). The project also includes
+MEMDISK, a tool to boot legacy operating systems (such as DOS) from nontraditional
+media; it is usually used in conjunction with PXELINUX and ISOLINUX.
