Hi all,

I propose to Close this TRAC ticket as "fixed" since as of 4.3.1-beta1:
   - The necessary utilities are now in hdsupp.lrp
   - There is some new logic in the default /init script which runs the
new utilities if they are present and LEAFCFG specifies LABEL= or UUID=
   - I have added some guidance notes to the Wiki at
http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/leaf/index.php?title=Bering-uClibc_4.x_-_User_Guide_-_Basic_Configuration_-_LEAF_Packages#Configuring_syslinux.cfg_or_isolinux.cfg
