    This is what I get, it looks to me like it came with the SL Live files:

Bob, this is what I get with a fairly carefully updated and maintained
6.2 system, which magically has been getting more and more stable since
I installed it as 6.0:

Summary     : Simple kernel loader which boots from a FAT filesystem
Description :
SYSLINUX is a suite of bootloaders, currently supporting DOS FAT
filesystems, Linux ext2/ext3 filesystems (EXTLINUX), PXE network boots
(PXELINUX), or ISO 9660 CD-ROMs (ISOLINUX).  It also includes a tool,
MEMDISK, which loads legacy operating systems from these media.


Perhaps you might consider uninstalling the rpmforge version and install
the SL version in its place. You might also take some measures to make
sure that machine is still yours and has not been thoroughly compromised.
