Editing SYSLINUX (section)

==COMBOOT==
SYSLINUX can be extended by COMBOOT modules written in [[C (programming language)|C]] or [[Assembly Language|assembly language]]. 32-bit modules typically use the <code>.c32</code> [[filename extension]]. Version 5 and later do not support 16-bit <code>[[COM file|.com]]</code> modules.<ref>{{cite web

==={{Anchor|HDT}}Hardware Detection Tool (HDT)===
Since the 3.74 release, the Syslinux project hosts the Hardware Detection Tool (HDT) project, licensed under the terms of [[GNU GPL]]. This tool is a 32-bit module that displays low-level information for any [[IA-32]]–compatible system.  It provides both a command-line interface and a semi-graphical menu mode for browsing.  HDT is also available as a bootable ISO and a 2.88&nbsp;MB floppy disk image. The last update of HDT was in 2015; it has since been discontinued.<ref>{{Sourceforge|hdt|Hardware Detection Tool}}</ref>
