For one thing, extlinux isn't actually on the DVDs at all, so far: it

install.
Well that'd do it. I've been exclusively testing network installs, because
as mentioned in the feature my target is cloud images. Howwwwever, I would
like it to work in other cases as well.
Looks like the install was done from a live image:
11:47:30,414 INFO anaconda: anaconda called with cmdline =
['/sbin/anaconda', '--liveinst',
'--method=livecd:///dev/mapper/live-osimg-min', '--lang', 'en_US.UTF-8']
so that's likely the cause (extlinux package isn't on the lives either).
Adding it to anaconda-tools would cause it to be added to the lives,
but...
I added it to comps for F20 a few days back but didn't do it for F19; I
wasn't sure if we should poke it at this point. I guess I can do it now
and hope the DVD doesn't go over size...
It'll add a little under 2MB. It could be less if we refactored the RPM a
little bit.
...2MB is OK for the DVD, I think, but the desktop live is *very* close
to its limit. I'll do a test compose and see if we can squeeze extlinux
in there safely or not.
In BUG #963697 I reported this too. My first try ended, because it could
not find syslinux-extlinux. However when I retried the installation from
a tree where syslinux-extlinux could be found, I ended up with a system
that still had an MBR with grub2 on it from a earlier install. I haven't
checked if syslinux was actually installed.
But it looks like extlinux does not install itself properly on the MBR.
Koos.
