Ralf: I just did a quick search on the googly and it seems like syslinux is for "MS/DOS" or "BIOS" and/or possibly "FAT32" systems?? It didn't seem to mention Macs, although it did show something on "UEFI" . . . but then one item was saying, "It won't boot ext2 systems"??? So it seems like syslinux is also "going back" in the history of linux in the time before apple was considered "adequate" . . . .
But, I think sometime in the next year or so I will be trying to find a PC laptop, or a "built for linux" laptop . . . and that would likely have the "BIOS" and "MBR" items that might be friendlier to syslinux???? Seems like what I might have seen in OpenSUSE was some "syslinux" package or app, which might not be the same as the "syslinux bootloader" that is BIOS friendly and only boots "MS/DOS" and/or Fat32 formatted systems??? I know that in Mac the EFI boot partition is formatted as FAT32 . . . so question is . . . is that meeting the requirements for booting via syslinux, or nope it don't do Macintoshes . . . ???
