Hi, Can syslinux be used to boot pxe files generated with fai-setup.
the typical entry in pxelinux.cfg/ directory on my server already has
a default file. It has entries like:

# 2.88 Meg Version of Universal Network Boot Image
label UNIV
   kernel utils/memdisk
   append initrd=utils/netb288.bin raw

# 2.88 Meg Version of Universal Network Boot Image
label UNIV28
   kernel utils/memdisk
   append initrd=utils/netb288.bin raw

# 1.44 Meg Version of Universal Network Boot Image
label UNIV14
   kernel utils/memdisk
   append initrd=utils/netboot.bin raw


===============================

and I have find /srv/tftp/
/srv/tftp/
/srv/tftp/fai
/srv/tftp/fai/vmlinuz-install
/srv/tftp/fai/pxelinux.0
/srv/tftp/fai/pxelinux.cfg

------------------------------------

The dhcp3 server on my host looks in /tftpboot/pxes/
and this directory already contains a pxelinux.0 file and pxelinux.cfg/
directory that
contains the default file.

ps. Have never used syslinux or dhcp3.
