Right, in cases where the host machine is not the same as the target. > Ok, that is one reason for not using the build systems syslinux.

But I've already been working on trying to get syslinux moved to the base DVD where someone doesn't require having to rsync the 20GB Everything tree to create LiveCDs. I am not sure how a savings of 3MB really comes into play. Is there something more important I am not actually seeing here than just a 3MB package, which actually lets the LiveCD have a method of bootloading? >> Also related, is that in F14 syslinux does not have a Perl dependency >> anymore anyways. > > I thought that too, but syslinux-4.02-1.fc14.i686.rpm do require perl > according to http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/rpminfo?rpmID=2109166 ??? Odd. Well. Here is what syslinux contains that are Perl scripts: [r...@localhost tmp]# file $(rpm -ql syslinux) | grep perl /usr/bin/isohybrid.pl: a /usr/bin/perl script text executable /usr/bin/keytab-lilo: a /usr/bin/perl script text executable /usr/bin/lss16toppm: a /usr/bin/perl script text executable /usr/bin/md5pass: a /usr/bin/perl script text executable /usr/bin/mkdiskimage: a /usr/bin/perl script text executable /usr/bin/ppmtolss16: a /usr/bin/perl script text executable /usr/bin/pxelinux-options: a /usr/bin/perl script text executable /usr/bin/sha1pass: a /usr/bin/perl script text executable /usr/bin/syslinux2ansi: a /usr/bin/perl script text executable [r...@localhost tmp]# -- livecd mailing list [email protected] https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/livecd
