The CD Forum > Bootable CDs. HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool - v2.1.8 Download - EXTREME Overclocking. ISOLINUX - Syslinux Wiki. What is ISOLINUX?
ISOLINUX is a boot loader for Linux/i386 that operates off ISO 9660/El Torito CD-ROMs in "no emulation" mode. This avoids the need to create an "emulation disk image" with limited space (for "floppy emulation") or compatibility problems (for "hard disk emulation".) How Can I Make a Bootable CD With ISOLINUX? Make sure you have a recent enough version of mkisofs. I recommend mkisofs 1.13 (distributed with cdrecord 1.9), but 1.12 might work as well (not tested).

MEMDISK can boot floppy images, hard disk images and some ISO images. MEMDISK simulates a disk by claiming a chunk of high memory for the disk and a (very small - 2K typical) chunk of low (DOS) memory for the driver itself, then hooking the INT 13h (disk driver) and INT 15h (memory query) BIOS interrupts. MEMDISK is an auxiliary module used in conjunction with a boot loader that can load linux kernels (EXTLINUX/ISOLINUX/PXELINUX/SYSLINUX, grub, grub4dos grub2, ...).
You need a disk image as well as the memdisk file itself. As far as the bootloader is concerned, MEMDISK is the "kernel" and disk image is the initial ramdisk (initrd). The disk image, passed as initrd, can be a compressed zip or gzip file. Syslinux Wiki. Latest News 2014-10-06 : Syslinux 6.03 released.
