Assumptions are correct. Syslinux has the "embedded" floppy image that is limited to the 1.44MB. It, the boot.img is the same floppy image as bootfloopy.img and is found in the KNOPPIX directory. This size is very limiting for adding more modules. The isolinux version does not have this structure and therefore not as limited. The isolinux version uses the directory boot/isolinux/. Older computers most likely won't need the additional modules that are present in the isolinux version. Same goes for the bootfloopy.img. it is the same floppy image in the syslinux version. Again, those computer without bootable cdroms are the older computers and hence booting from a floppy drive is the same as booting from syslinux. Now, for newer computers, the isolinux version does offers more. If you have a newer computer try isolinux first.
