So aside from my comment on the PR, my other note: what about live images? Don't those use syslinux for BIOS boot too? There doesn't seem to be any benefit in switching to grub2 only for boot.iso / DVD ISO if we have to keep maintaining syslinux for live images. Or is the idea that we'd drop BIOS boot support entirely from live images and people who want to do BIOS installs are required to use netinst/DVD images? -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA IRC: adamw | Twitter: adamw_ha https://www.happyassassin.net _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
