Hi Jerome, to answer some specific parts of your mail:
Yes, it is useful to have two different boot style CD
images and not only the more compatible variant plus
a boot floppy image. Because the latter would mean
that people which could boot CD only in the less
common style would need a floppy

Hello Jerome,
Second… I really haven’t looked into this one at all. But, I think it would be
possible to use Core Boot, SeaBios or something else to provide Legacy BIOS
support ourselves on UEFI only systems. This would be a good deal of work. It
