is irrelevant since we don't want to use a host's syslinux
files because
you don't want to for example be copying files from the host to the
target, if you're building Live images
which the host and target architectures don't match. For example
building a x86_64 LiveCD from
i686 host. (Which people say cannot be done, but it can by hardcoding
repo information in your kickstarts)
I am people, but I assume you meant the opposite: building a i686 LiveCD
from a x86_64 host?
Ok, that is one reason for not using the build systems syslinux. But
syslinux is still not really needed in the image and thus adds 3 Mb (?)
without reason. Perhaps we could extract the relevant files from the rpm
without installing it. Ok, someone would have to provide a patch for
that ...
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
