 776 <div class="paragraph"><p>At start, the initial working directory for <strong>SYSLINUX</strong>/<strong>ISOLINUX</strong> will
 777 be the directory containing the initial configuration file.  If no
 778 configuration file is found, <strong>SYSLINUX</strong> should default to the
 779 install-time working directory, however this is a known issue with some
 780 versions including 4.06.</p></div>
 781 <div class="paragraph"><p>At start, the initial working directory for <strong>PXELINUX</strong> will be the
 782 parent directory of pxelinux.0 unless overridden with DHCP option 210.
 783 If no configuration file is found, <strong>PXELINUX</strong> will start a timer to
 784 reboot the system in an attempt to restart the boot process and resolve
 785 a possible transient issue.</p></div>

 788 <h3 id="_alternate_filenames">ALTERNATE FILENAMES</h3>
 789 <div class="paragraph"><p>For kernel-like file names given on the command line, <strong>Syslinux</strong> will
 790 attempt to append file name extensions to the specified file name when
 791 the file is not found in the following order: .0[<strong>PXELINUX</strong> only],
 792 .bin[<strong>ISOLINUX</strong> only], .bs[<strong>SYSLINUX</strong> only], .bss[<strong>SYSLINUX</strong> only],
 793 .c32, .cbt[Up to 4.06], .com[Up to 4.06] and .img[<strong>ISOLINUX</strong> 1.65-4.04 only].</p></div>

 795 <div class="sect2">
 796 <h3 id="_path_rules">PATH RULES</h3>
 797 <div class="paragraph"><p>The current working directory is <strong>always</strong> searched first, before PATH,
 798 when attempting to open a filename. The current working directory is
 799 not affected when specifying a file with an absolute path. For
 800 example, given the following file system layout,</p></div>
 801 <div class="literalblock">
 802 <div class="content">

 806                 libls.c32
 807         /foo/
 808                 libls.c32</code></pre>
 809 </div></div>
 810 <div class="paragraph"><p>assuming that the current working directory is /boot/foo, and assuming
 811 that libls.c32 is a dependency of ls.c32, executing /boot/bin/ls.c32
 812 will cause /boot/foo/libls.c32 to be loaded, not /boot/bin/libls.c32,
 813 even if /boot/bin is specified in the PATH directive of a config file.</p></div>
 814 <div class="paragraph"><p>The reason that things work this way is that typically a user will
 815 install all library files in the Syslinux installation directory, as
 816 specified with the --directory installer option. This method allows
 817 the user to omit the PATH directive from their config file and still
 818 have things work correctly.</p></div>
