| Syslinux is a popular boot loader known for it's simplicity and modularity, quite similar to Grub Legacy. The following example demonstrates how to configure Syslinux to boot dCore from a USB device. The 'ldlinux.sys' and 'menu.c32' files must be available under '/boot/'. | Syslinux is a popular boot loader known for simplicity and modularity, similar to Grub Legacy. |

| | ==== dCore on a USB device ==== |
| | |
| | The following example configures Syslinux to boot dCore from a Ext-Partition on a USB device. |
| | The TCE-directory as well as the home- and opt-directories are located on the same partition which is referred by label; UUIDs can be used as well. Furthermore, hostname and timezone are set, multiple virtual terminals as well as the syslog daemon are activated, loaded apps are listed on the boot screen and after that the system pauses before continuing. |

| | Using Syslinux 3.63-3.70 on a USB drive with a FAT32 file system, an example boot stanza from the Syslinux shell might be ''/vmlinu~1 initrd=/dcore-~1.gz'', cf. the [[dcore:usb_installation_test-drive#first_boot1| dCore Test Drive on a USB Stick]]. |
