SYSLINUX is a Linux boot loader, syslinux.exe is an install program which puts SYSLINUX onto a disc, making it bootable. (Bit like sys a: on DOS). LDLINUX.SYS is also created in root.
SYSLINUX expects a kernel file called LINUX in the disc's root directory. You can change the expected name but not the location.
SYSLINUX can read a syslinux.cfg file from root, /syslinux or /boot/syslinux on the disc. It tries all those locations.
The parameters after an APPEND in the .cfg file are linux kernel parameters.
When unetbootin creates a live USB, what it actually does is install SYSLINUX on the disc, and generate an appropriate .cfg file.
