The aforementioned lack of non-x86 architecture support is probably the biggest one from a Fedora perspective. However, I don't really think that's something that will be _added_ to syslinux, so it kind of makes discussing the rest irrelevant for us. My original reply was as to why Fedora doesn't just switch. If there are bootloaders that people want to use instead of grub2, then go for it. I have no ties to any of them. josh -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
