Installing dedicated web server from slackware13.1 on a 30g box, do i need to install 'syslinux' for anything? I'm not sure i will need it. Thanks

syslinux is a bootloader utility.

If you need to do anything with bootloader such as PXE booting etc., you will need it, otherwise no.

Syslinux is a boot loader. Do you need a boot loader? Not if you have one.
